On Oct. 16, 2018, FIA’s Market Technology division moderated a cybersecurity and operational resilience workshop in Chicago. A summary of the event and its findings have just been published.
A cross-section of 40 industry participants representing 12 FIA member organizations participated in a simulated market disruption, including representatives from major futures commission merchants, exchanges, clearing houses and key service providers. As outlined in the report, a key finding from the workshop was a recognition that FIA can play a critical role providing a trusted conduit for emergency communication in such market disruptions.
