    1:15 - 2:15 p.m. Guarding the Gold: Rethinking What Must Be Protected Now
    Josh Anderson, Echelon Risk + Cyber
    Banks have always known where their “gold” sits — core systems, privileged access, payment rails, customer data, liquidity channels. But the economics of attack have changed. Capabilities once reserved for nation-state threat actors are now broadly accessible, and adversaries can scale reconnaissance, deception, and exploitation at unprecedented speed. This session challenges leaders to reassess whether their most protected assets are still defended against today’s threat model — not yesterday’s.
