The event featured over 20 prominent speakers addressing critical issues in cybersecurity, including the rise of Artificial Intelligence ("AI"), strategic risk management, and challenges in highly regulated industries.
Mr. Williams, a seasoned cybersecurity professional with over 25 years of experience in Information Technology and Information Security joined William Smith, Director of Strategy for Financial Services at Microsoft, in an engaging fireside chat. Their discussion delved into the unique cybersecurity challenges faced by financial institutions and presented strategies one can use to protect sensitive data in an increasingly digital landscape. The two also discussed the use of AI by major threat actors and strategies that can be implemented to help protect organizations against such threats.
"It was an honor to represent Dream Exchange at the GCSI Annual Conference and engage with such an impressive group of cybersecurity opinion leaders," said Tellis Williams. "As the financial sector continues to evolve, Dream Exchange is poised to make history as the first minority-controlled stock exchange. Since we are poised to make history very soon, it is crucial that we stay at the forefront of the best practices in cybersecurity to safeguard our clients' trust and assets."
