The challenges financial services security teams face every day can be daunting. The increasing frequency of cyberattacks coupled with the increase in their sophistication, as attackers explore new ways of leveraging AI, may have defenders struggling to keep pace at times. The ongoing shortage of skilled security analysts globally only makes things even more challenging.

How can financial services organizations deploy emerging technologies such as generative AI to counteract criminal networks, secure their organization’s and customers’ data and stay ahead of rapidly evolving threat environments?

At the recent Avanade Financial Services Forum, hosted by Avanade’s gen AI and Copilot for Security lead Sarah Rench, cybersecurity leaders from Avanade and Microsoft explored how organizations can secure the use of gen AI by their workforce and how gen AI security tools, such as Copilot for Security, can empower their security teams.
