Join Sopra Steria, FinTech Scotland, the University of Glasgow and a former lead associate at the FCA, for a compelling webinar exploring how financial services can evolve to better support customer financial health. Drawing on exclusive insights from Sopra Steria’s latest whitepaper, this session will examine how innovation, AI and Open Finance can help institutions shift from compliance-focused models to truly customer-centric approaches.

This session will:

– Unpack key UK regulations – including the FCA’s Consumer Duty – and explore their implications for improving customer financial wellbeing strategies.

– Explore innovative approaches to financial health evaluation, moving beyond traditional credit scoring.

– Demonstrate how Open Banking and Open Finance are driving more effective and ethical support for financially vulnerable customers.

– Provide actionable guidance on transitioning from compliance-led to customer-centric operating models that enable long-term value and trust.

Are you confident in your organisation’s ability to detect cyber threats?

Join speakers from Acumen Cyber and EY to discuss Cyber Threat Detection.

Understanding the assets that you have, key vulnerabilities and indicators of compromise can be challenging. There are a number of frameworks that can be used to establish cyber maturity and suggest good practice – but what are the practical implications of this?

Using the example of the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) (which is increasingly a requirement or regulatory obligation in the public sector), we’ll look at the following topics:

• The changing threat landscape
• What are the objectives of CAF, and what are they trying to demonstrate?
• Lessons learned from supporting clients to assess where they are against CAF (including sector specific profiles), including:

– Detecting cyber security events across dispersed IT / OT environments.
– Escalating, classifying and responding to verified cyber events
