    Safeguarding Trust: Maintaining confidence amidst rapid change

    The complexity of today’s financial system is leading to new and increased risks that expand well beyond individual firm boundaries. FinCyber Today Canada 2025 will focus on how to mitigate threats and strengthen resilience in the face of new technologies such as AI and quantum computing and manage supply chain risks to maintain the trust of customers, regulators, investors, and other stakeholders.

    The 2025 FS-ISAC FinCyber Today Canada, taking place on 3 June in Toronto, is a full-day program for Canadian member firms to learn from experts, share and network with colleagues and meet with solution providers exploring and innovating security products for a wide range of asset protection needs.

    Open only to member firms headquartered in Canada, the agenda provides something for everyone – sessions focused on top-of-mind issues led by subject experts; thought-leadership talks highlighting insights that members will take back to the office and networking social events. 

    This well-respected Canadian member event is attended by C-suite, management and security operations executives that know the key to resilience is to collaboratively work together today, encourage rapid innovation and always keep a keen eye on the horizon.
