One goal – combat cybercrime. FIBA and FELABAN will once again join forces to host the 37th Bank Security Conference – CELAES in Miami on June 20 and 21, 2022. The event focuses on enhancing information-sharing and collaboration across banking and non-banking institutions to stop cybercrimes.

Through case studies, exploration of strategies, and conversations on best practices, participants will receive the latest update on the financial cybersecurity landscape. “United we can accelerate the process,” said Financial and International Business Association (FIBA) CEO, David Schwartz.
According to FIBA, the role and responsibilities of the chief information security officer (CISO) continue to evolve in an ever-changing environment therefore it is important to have a forum that will allow for knowledge transfer throughout the region.
“The conference’s agenda is based on attack trends and aims to give participants the tools needed to identify risks, evaluate them and implement best practices in security-related issues in their different profiles,” said Jaime Berry, Director of Corporate Security at Banistmo and President of the CELAES Committee of the Latin American Federation of Banks – FELABAN.
