It was only a month ago when the CrowdStrike outage created a devastating ripple effect that crippled air travel and hospital, shut down electrical grids and disrupted life. It was a deafening wake-up call that #cybersecurity vigilance and backup plans can never become complacent.   "Many #financialadvisors mistakenly believe that their cybersecurity is adequately covered, either by their affiliated firm or simply through having anti-virus #software. However, they often are far more vulnerable than they realize," Kevin Sutton, #AlphaONE's Chief #Technology Officer, told Digital Wealth News. "Additionally, with the rising concern over zero-day threats, the possibility of a technology control failing is an ever-present reality. Firms must be equipped not only to prevent such incidents but also to swiftly detect and respond to them before any irreversible damage is done."   Check out the rest of Kevin's conversation at https://lnkd.in/gWJfeFFb. Learn how AlphaONE's Guardian can help identify cybersecurity threats, address them before they escalate into data breaches, and stay ahead of malicious actors worldwide, ensuring that advisors can operate securely and confidently in an increasingly complex digital landscape.https://a1ops.com/industry/smb/ #SmartSafeSecure #Technology #FinancialServices

Digital failures are costly. The recent #CrowdStrike incident is estimated to cost Fortune 500 companies roughly $5.4 billion in damages. #AlphaONE is keenly aware of the need to protect data.

"Robust vendor management and incident response planning are crucial components of any comprehensive cybersecurity program." Scott joined John M. at FusionIQ and Sid Yenamandra at Surge Ventures to discuss how a similar scenario be avoided going forward.   Read more at https://lnkd.in/gqPqDAWY. #SmartSafeSecure #Technology #FinancialServices #InfoSec #Technology

This has driven the demand for #regtech solutions as financial institutions need efficient ways to ensure compliance. "Regtech solutions offer automated, scalable and cost-effective tools to navigate the ever-changing regulations, reducing the burden on internal compliance teams," #AlphaONE Chief Information Security Officer Scott Sailors M.S., OSCP, CISSP, CISM told Digital Wealth News.
