About this session
Financial system resilience used to mean strong network security and clear regulation. Both are getting stronger — payment networks are tightening technical standards, and regulators are building oversight of critical infrastructure and third-party risk.
But the newest emerging risks don't fit neatly into either category, from quantum computing, which will eventually break the cryptography most financial infrastructure still relies on, and frontier AI models, which threatens to reshape both sides of the security equation — generating fraud that exploits trust and speed, and finding and exploiting technical vulnerabilities faster than traditional defenses were built to handle. Both demand action well before the risk fully materializes. This session brings together infrastructure providers, technology firms, and regulators to discuss what's still missing from how the industry prepares for risks that haven't fully arrived yet.
