With the increased amount of cyber security incidents and the level of vulnerability across the end-to-end supply networks, Information Technology risk management and security turn to be vital for financial and non-financial sector institutions to operate sustainably and to be trusted by customers. Following the successful cybersecurity webinars of December 2021 and February 2022, we are pleased to announce a webinar focusing on Third Party risks in cybersecurity and the financial sector. The webinar aims to discuss in depth the main challenges in the end-to-end cyber security governance, personal data protection, regulatory compliance, new technologies deployment with a focus on securing an effective third-party and vendor risk framework. The webinar will also address fintech-related issues, which are increasingly important as fintech firms participate as third-party service providers and as more financial players expand into the digital spaces. In this regard, two perspectives will be heard from the Bank of Thailand and Monetary Authority of Singapore on setting and implementing third-party standards and best practices in the financial sector with respect to information technology. Furthermore, the webinar will hear from a third-party service provider of products and services to the financial sector to ensure that there are not wittingly or unwittingly used as an entry point to a cyber-attack. A Korean Fintech IT service provider, FNS Value, to financial and non-financial institutions will share the Korean perspective on mitigating third-party risks in cybersecurity and implementing third-party best practices in Korea¡¯s financial and non-financial sector.

Zafer Mustafaoglu, Practice Manager, Financial, Competitiveness and Innovation, East Asia and Pacific [5 minutes]
PANEL PRESENTATIONS: Setting and Implementing Third-Party Standards and Best Practices in the Financial Sector with respect to information technology. Many financial institutions enter into third-party relationships by outsourcing certain operational functions to a third party or by using a third party to make products and services available that the institution does not originate. As the financial services industry continues to evolve, some financial institutions are also using third parties for information technology related functions that cannot be performed in-house. Speakers from Bank of Thailand and the Monetary Authority of Singapore will share insights from their regulatory perspectives on matters that should be covered in a general framework for the implementation of an effective third-party risk management process when providing information technology services to financial institutions. Following these presentations, we will hear from an Information Technology service provider that will discuss the end-to-end cyber security governance, personal data protection, regulatory compliance, new technologies deployment with a focus on securing an effective third-party and vendor risk framework. How does the third-party service provider of products and services to the financial sector ensure that there are not wittingly or unwittingly used as an entry point to a cyber-attack?
