Meeting Agenda

Join our next Finance Sector meeting focused on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), fraud and cybersecurity, specifically tailored for recruiters in the Financial Services sector.

The rapid adoption of AI across all industries, including recruitment, brings unprecedented efficiency and innovation. However, it also introduces sophisticated cybersecurity challenges that demand vigilant attention. In financial services, where data sensitivity is at its highest, the risks of data breaches, advanced phishing attacks, and insider threats are amplified by the very technologies designed to streamline operations.

At the same time, this opens up new opportunities for recruiters to operate in fintech and other related areas they would otherwise not consider.

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be an enlightening and crucial discussion.

More information on the agenda will be forthcoming very soon.
