About this event

Cyber security remains a top priority for businesses across the globe. With these threats constantly evolving there is a need for an equally innovative and unified response from those looking to defend and secure themselves from attack. Emerging technologies have a key role to play and cross-sector collaboration can help to bring vital solutions to market more quickly.

The City of London Corporation partnered with the City of London Police to deliver the second Cyber Innovation Challenge to provide a unique opportunity for collaboration to address a security priority for financial services using innovative tech solutions.

This year’s Challenge focussed on the mechanism by which data is safely and securely transferred. By bringing together financial services and cyber security professionals the Challenge explored how technology can share real time threat intelligence to law enforcement, and how technology can also provide anonymised updates back to the financial services sector with the aim of providing an enhanced insight into the broader threat levels. The Challenge has benefited from the input of Supporting Partners Microsoft, London and Partners, UK Finance and the Department for Business and Trade.

This Showcase event is aimed at those working in financial and professional services and beyond with an interest in cyber security, data or innovation and will focus on three areas:

Providing a deep dive into the issue at the heart of the Challenge.

Presenting some broader ideas and the specific solutions from the Challenge which seek to address this issue.

Sharing learnings from delivery of the Challenge and the role of collaboration in supporting innovation in the financial services sector.
