Deployments of Microsoft Teams have exploded inside organizations – scaling collaboration and productivity gains at unprecedented rates.

Microsoft and Smarsh have come together to support the demands of the world’s largest Financial Services, Insurance, and Government organizations by developing an “unbreakable” Microsoft Teams capture and archive solution designed to deliver:

• Unified Identity Management – Real-time consolidation of an individual’s digital footprint across Microsoft Teams and all other mobile, social media, and email communications.

• AI-Powered Supervision and Surveillance – Surface risk, anomalies, and trends with integrated ML / AI – for instant detection and 95% noise reduction.   
  
• Elastic Scale and Search Performance – Architected for speed at scale. Over 250K concurrent users and ability to search 25 million records in under 5 seconds.

For investment advisory firms, the old model of engaging with clients is in the rear-view. They are all in on #VirtualFinancialAdvisors.

SEC’s New Cybersecurity Regulations Impact on Remote Advisors

Presented by:

Robert Cruz, VP of Governance Information - Smarsh
Garry Sorrentino, Global Deputy CIO - Zoom
Jerrod Travlee,  Lead Financial Services Consultant - Slack

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- The impact of outdated supervision policies or infrequent surveillance of communications data on collaboration platforms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

Manage Third-Party Risk with confidence.

“Automagically Compliant” Streamlining Third-Party Risk Management Workflows

The digital landscape is fueling an explosive growth in the complexity and volume of open records requests.

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:
