A stark difference between an established financial institution and a FinTech start-up is often fixed assets. Large organisations carry the weight of IT operating costs, which has often had new layers of systems, fixed and cyber-security bolted on. What are the benefits of shedding this system now?:

• Can you slash costs by simplifying legacy systems?
• Updating IT operating models to get ready for a new normal.
• How do you balance short-term strategies with long-term goals? Can large savings be made by adopting an aggressive SaaS-based model?

With more touchpoints and critical data in the hands of consumers, the number of points in which antagonists can attempt to access data has increased. As digital has gone mainstream, the technology perimeter has expanded outside of traditional control boundaries, making information security increasingly difficult:

• How can you find the your weakest link within your IoT space?
• Can an institution ever be comfortable with billions of potential vulnerable devices connected to its corporate network?
• In a sharing economy, how can institutions enact wide-spread information security?
• How can IoT bolster physical security?

Although data is something in which most people deal with daily to some extent, it is a lot more complex than most recognise – there are many different forms and processes of data, each playing an equally important role in ensuring data is reliable, consistent and accurate. Join this presentation to gain an industry experts perspectives on:

• Big data – analysing and extracting information.
• Data analytics – transforming and modelling data.
• Data privacy – relationship between the collection and the dissemination of data.
• Data sharing and collaboration – enhancing strategic initiatives.

Advances in robotics and AI are first met with scepticism and mistrust, but consumers and employers warm to them over time. With that in mind, what are the latest developments and applications in this field?:

• With activities becoming increasingly automated, will it just affect low-skill, low-wage roles?
• Will automation result in cost-savings through ‘re-shoring’?
• With lightweight software ‘bots’ can free up time to focus on activities?
