Cybersecurity for Financial Services: Protecting Trust, Clients & Continuity
Presented by: Jim Kay | CEO & Founder | IT Networks | Cybersecurity & IT Systems Expert

In today’s digital-first world, financial services firms are guardians of highly sensitive client data.

These SMEs face mounting cyber risks that can threaten both client livelihoods and firm survival. In this webinar, Jim Kay delivers compelling, real-world insights into the evolving cyber threat landscape specifically affecting small to medium financial services firms. He shares actionable strategies to protect client trust, uphold regulatory trust, and strengthen business resilience—all through a pragmatic, SME-focused lens.

Drawing from current Australian data, regulatory pressures, and real-life breaches, Jim illuminates how cybersecurity must be approached not as a standalone tech concern, but as a foundational pillar supporting reputation, compliance, and operational continuity.

Jim also addresses the often overlooked human behaviour and culture aspects of cyber risk, helping firms shape resilient, alert organisations. And his insights into the regulatory alignment assist owners and partners of financial firms in integrating cybersecurity into their customer board-level dialogue.
