Kiran Belsekar, SVP and CISO & IT Governance, Aegon Life Insurance as a panellist on the topic "Crunching the Numbers on Cloud Native Ransomware Recovery for Financial Services"

The financial services industry, like any industry, faces several complex issues as they move their technology infrastructure to the cloud. By leveraging SaaS-based cloud services, such as Microsoft 365 and Salesforce, organizations can increase business agility and scale their resources with increasing speed. However, the benefits of using a cloud-based data copy solution also bring concerns. Given the global increase in frequency and costliness of ransomware, there is a heightened focus on cybersecurity and privacy, which has led to increased scrutiny on how financial institutions manage security and compliance.

When talking about cybersecurity, financial institutions share a responsibility with their cloud service provider to maintain a strong cybersecurity posture. This means that the financial institution is responsible for managing the security of their data in the cloud. While this might seem like a no-brainer, many institutions migrating to the cloud don’t pay enough attention to properly protecting their data. This session will deliberate on the growing role of data protection and the advantages of cloud-native data protection
