Implementing specialized IT solutions for financial experts is essential for protecting sensitive information, ensuring regulatory compliance, and preserving the integrity that underpins the entire sector.

Instead, they are methodically rebuilding core financial plumbing, including payments, deposits, custody and fund administration, so these services can operate on distributed ledgers. The work is incremental, technical and often invisible to retail customers, but it is already reshaping how large institutions think about money movement and settlement. Rather than embracing unregulated crypto assets, banks are focusing on tokenization, the process of representing traditional financial claims, such as deposits or fund shares, as digital tokens recorded on a ledger.

Think about how you currently handle waste. Are your team members spending valuable work hours making multiple trips to the local dump? Are they bagging up endless amounts of waste, or worse, dealing with overflowing bins? Every minute they spend on these tasks is a minute they aren't spending on revenue-generating activities, serving customers, or doing the specialised work you hired them for.

As the calendar turns the final pages on 2025, the information technology sector stands at a critical juncture regarding its environmental commitments. This year was not marked by technological breakthroughs solving decarbonisation, but by the decisive maturation of sustainability from a strategic differentiator into an operational and regulatory imperative. This transition involved a painful reckoning with data complexity, supply chain reality, and the sheer energy appetite of modern computing, driven primarily by the rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI).

Enterprises can move from small pilots to full deployments without violating their jurisdiction's rules on where data should live. The reality is that, earlier, most security and compliance teams weren't rejecting GenAI because of model design; they were rejecting it because storing data in the US or EU pushed them into conflict with GDPR, India's incoming DPDPA norms, UAE's federal rules, or sector-specific mandates like PCI-DSS,

Twenty-six million dollars. That's how much investing platform Robinhood paid out earlier this year after it was found to have breached a range of financial regulations. Amongst them? Failure to properly manage the social media influencers promoting their products. With these so-called "finfluencers" becoming an ubiquitous part of fintech marketing strategies, this eye-watering penalty should serve as a cautionary tale to brands putting content and reach above compliance and risk.

Financial institutions are facing a new reality: cyber-resilience has passed from being a best practice, to an operational necessity, to a prescriptive regulatory requirement. Crisis management or Tabletop exercises, for a long time relatively rare in the context of cybersecurity, have become required as a series of regulations has introduced this requirement to FSI organizations in several regions, including DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) in the EU; CPS230 / CORIE (Cyber Operational Resilience Intelligence-led Exercises) in Australia;

Tesla Cybertruck deliveries started in the United States and Canada back in late 2023. However, the company has been looking to expand the all-electric pickup to new markets, including the Middle East, for which it opened up orders for earlier this year.

Today, the role of chief information security officer (CISO) role has transcended traditional boundaries, moving beyond managing firewalls and compliance checklists. The current landscape, marked by an upsurge in regulatory scrutiny and lawsuits against individual CISOs, demands a new approach. To navigate this challenging environment, the CISO must become a legal sentinel, meticulously documenting decisions and establishing a verifiable defence of "due care" to protect both the enterprise and themselves from legal repercussions.

ESU does not provide complete patching, as vulnerabilities rated as "moderate" or "low" will not be addressed.

The FDNY abruptly changed its policy to allow businesses wishing to install e-bike battery charging cabinets to use a not-yet-federally approved testing standard after Streetsblog revealed that companies were unable to comply with the department's new regulations, putting construction at a stand still amidst a battery fire crisis. Since February, the FDNY required the companies to meet a new standard - UL 1487 - before installing the charging cabinets on streets and sidewalks.

Transparency in business ethics is no longer a luxury; it has become a necessity. From trust-building to regulatory compliance, transparency helps businesses navigate the modern landscape, fostering long-term success and sustainability.

Discipline over flash: Trained for toughly two decades under now-JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Scharf learned to make hard calls with steadiness, not showmanship. That discipline has driven cost cuts, a flatter structure, and operational fixes that pared headcount by nearly a quarter and reduced Wells Fargo's vast real estate footprint. Calm over charisma: Scharf leads quietly but firmly, those who know him say, lowering the temperature in tense moments while remaining uncompromising on performance.

"Firstly, accounting is governed by rules, the focus is compliance, the focus is ensuring things are done right [and] that's a big part of the role of finance," said Sankar. "I want to make sure that I sign on the dotted line saying these numbers are accurate that I'm complying with rules and regulations. "That will never change but if you look at how it is performed today it's a very labour intensive process so we believe there's a lot of opportunity for automation."

Ciarán Bollard, CEO of The Corporate Governance Institute, warned that dissolving the committee could undermine confidence in Currys' approach "Statements of this kind are becoming more common. We hear companies say: 'we are stepping back from formal ESG structures, but our commitment remains.' In the United States, this has often been driven by political hostility towards ESG. The UK, however, is a very different environment."

The continued surge in hybrid work, bring your own device (BYOD) and contractor reliance has undeniably made businesses more agile and flexible, but it has also introduced a wave of unmanaged devices into enterprise environments that frequently lack security controls, creating exposure to data loss and regulatory risk. To mitigate these issues, Cato Networks has launched Browser Extension, what it calls "a lightweight onramp" to the company's core secure access service edge (SASE) platform.

Cloud platforms, outsourced IT, and digital trading systems power day-to-day operations - but they also introduce serious risks. Cyberattacks, system failures, and supplier disruptions can trigger regulatory breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage. To strengthen the resilience of Europe's financial system, the EU introduced the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), often called the DORA Directive. Although the UK is no longer part of the EU, DORA still applies to many UK firms.

The company continues to run at a loss, with nearly all of its revenue tied to Robux, the virtual currency players use on the platform.

Traditional banks rely on legacy systems that were never designed for the speed and scale of global business today. This is why Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) are currently changing the market.

Unlike banks, EMIs cannot offer traditional loans or credit, but they can do almost everything else when it comes to facilitating digital payments.

CISOs know their field. They understand the threat landscape. They understand how to build a strong and cost-effective security stack. They understand how to staff out their organization. They understand the intricacies of compliance. They understand what it takes to reduce risk. Yet one question comes up again and again in our conversations with these security leaders: how do I make the impact of risk clear to business decision-makers?

The modern workplace or campus looks very different from even a decade ago - and older access control systems struggle to keep up. They weren't built to handle the fast pace of change we see today.

The platform ensures every conversation is logged, auditable, and ready for regulatory scrutiny.
