What’s The Use Case: Mobile & Hybrid Work

Regulators stayed busy in the first quarter of 2022, making it clear that hybrid work regulations are not slowing down and indicating a renewed focus on mobile communications. The SEC proposed new rules on cyber compliance with the aim of improving cybersecurity and protecting investors. While the goals for this proposed rule change are straightforward, the impact upon firms may be far-reaching. 
 
Join us April 21st, 11am PT | 2pm ET for our latest quarterly regulatory webinar, Regulatory Quarterly Update: Why Cybersecurity and Hybrid Work Can’t Go Unsupervised. In this session, you’ll hear from experts in financial services and information governance as they discuss the new proposed regulations, how the SEC and FINRA have enforced their priorities, and what continuing enforcement means for regulated firms. 
This discussion will explore:  
 
• SIFMA Conference highlights addressing the supervision of hybrid work collaboration and mobile communications 

• SEC’s new proposal for mandatory Cybersecurity assessments, policies, and incident reporting 
 
• Breakdown of FINRA’s Regulatory Notice on the supervisory role and liability for Chief Compliance Officers (CCO) 
 
• FINRA’s regulatory considerations for Cloud Computing

Digital communication paths have become more diverse, making electronic communication across teams and with customers more difficult to monitor, much less store and archive. With no end in sight to the increased adoption of video, voice, and collaboration tools that enable hybrid work, regulated organizations need to ensure they are complying with records retention rules while ensuring seamless business continuity.

In this webinar, Gary Sorrentino, Global Deputy CIO at Zoom and Jerrod Travlee, Lead Financial Services Consultant at Slack will join us to discuss the increasing challenges executives are facing as they continue to navigate compliance in the hybrid work model. This discussion will explore:

- The innovative ways regulated organizations are using video, voice, and IM/collaboration tools to engage with employees and customers

- Events that are driving changes to organization’s policies of retaining and supervising communications

- The impact of outdated supervision policies or infrequent surveillance of communications data on collaboration platforms

- How to address the top concerns with expanding collaboration platform utilization including cyber risk, remote access, and non-compliance with regulations

Financial firms are onboarding third-party vendors at an unprecedented rate – overwhelming or frantically bypassing their manual security and risk management process. Compounding, the dependency on outside services and partnerships is only projected to further accelerate over the next few years given the demand for specialized resources and current hiring conditions. 

As vendor velocity and stricter regulatory enforcement increase, so does the security and compliance risk of third parties accessing critical systems and preventing confidential information leaving the virtual walls of the firm – not to mention delayed projects and customer service. 

Manual third-party risk assessments and remediation can no longer keep pace and require an automated approach to streamline the TPRM workflows, remove human errors and delays and most importantly ensure risk gaps are closed. 

Join our webinar “Automagically Compliant” - Streamlining Third-Party Risk Management Workflows at Speed to learn how utilizing technology can accelerate the workflow saving risk management teams considerable time (up to 71%) and maintain ongoing oversight with reporting capabilities to satisfy regulatory requirements. 

Join our industry’s leading experts in third-party risk management compliance as they share:

- Best practices for implementing and maturing a third-party risk management program 
- Bridging the gap between security questionnaires and continuous monitoring data
- Understanding the regulatory landscape and what level of diligence is required to achieve compliance
- Risk score modeling, analytics, and regulatory reporting

Investment management firms are going all-in with #VirtualFinancialAdvisors in 2022 – building teams of “Iron Men and Women”-like advisors that go beyond the hybrid work pivot of basic Zoom meetings to remotely engage their clients with a 100% digital-advice experience.  

 However, despite its benefits, launching a new Virtual Financial Advisor team into the market comes with a unique set of challenges. It will require an upgrade to your cyber compliance strategy that not only meets the latest cybersecurity regulations, but mitigates the potential risk exposure that comes along with an expanded cyber surface area. 

Join our webinar Building the Future “Virtual Financial Advisor” with Cyber Compliance on February 10th at 10am PT/1pm ET to learn how you can ensure your Virtual Financial Advisor teams are shielded with the latest cyber compliance controls, monitoring and regulatory reporting capabilities required to unleash them into the market with confidence.

The digital landscape is fueling an explosive growth in the complexity and volume of open records requests. As state and local agencies have adopted more tools, their requirements for capturing communications data have increased and become more complex. For the county IT leader, keeping track of the massive amount of data can be a challenge, but failing to do so can expose them to risk as well as cyber security threats.

Join Rita Reynolds, CIO for the National Association of Counties, John Matelski, CIO for Dekalb County and Robert Cruz, VP, Information Governance, Smarsh, and hear these compliance experts share their insights on the growing digital landscape and what that means for counties. They will discuss:

• Unrealized blind spots from Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other discoverable data for open records requests

• Creating efficiencies with open records requests by evolving how you store and access your data

• The impact of the infrastructure bill and making the most of cybersecurity funds for extra protection

How the Digital Public Square Has Changed Records Management Forever

Technology is constantly changing. With an ever-evolving communications and regulatory landscape, the need for a cost-effective, scalable cloud archive that can ingest any form of content is the new imperative.

Public officials are now trending as the latest “social influencers,” as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook have become the communication platforms of choice. Social media can be useful for real-time government updates and engagement with members of the community. Or it can cause major problems. When used inappropriately, social media can turn into a public relations nightmare and cause potential legal or reputational issues for a government agency. Supervising social media requires a combination of policies and technology to prevent a potential scandal from making headlines — while reducing the time and legal costs to prove a “nothingburger” in the explosion of public record requests.
