According to a recent SOCRadar report, the financial sector is among the top five industries most targeted on the dark web, with nearly 60% of threats aimed at information assets. Threat actors are now weaponising AI to scale attacks and bypass detection faster than ever. The implications are clear: financial institutions must rethink their cyber strategies, moving beyond tick-box compliance to a more holistic model of resilience.
PwC’s 2024 Africa Cyber Security Outlook reinforces this urgency, 31% of surveyed organisations anticipate significant increases in cyber budgets. But increased spend doesn’t guarantee security. The real need is alignment: people, technology, legal frameworks, and risk strategy must work together.
While technology continues to transform the financial sector, the real challenge lies in keeping pace with complex and evolving regulatory demands. Recognising this, Cyberlogic and ENS co-hosted an insightful three-part webinar series in April titled Navigating the Joint Standards and Its Overlapping Compliance Frameworks designed to help financial institutions align innovation with compliance. At the core of the series was the “LPPT Framework”:
Co-developed by Cyberlogic and ENS, the LPPT framework offers a practical, unified approach to overlapping compliance requirements. It acknowledges that regulatory alignment isn’t siloed as it spans legal, security, and operational domains. The LPPT framework was designed by Cyberlogic and ENS to help organisations not only meet legal requirements but also build real-world resilience.
To bring these concepts to life, the webinar series used a relatable narrative of building and securing a house. This analogy grounded abstract standards in practical imagery:
The three-part series brought together legal and cyber security experts to help financial institutions understand and prepare for sweeping regulatory shifts.
The series was delivered by a seasoned panel that blended legal expertise with operational and technical experience:
Because compliance often overlaps across functions and attendees ranged from compliance officers to IT and security leads with their own goals, the LPPT framework and the cyber house analogy provided a flexible, inclusive approach that resonated with all stakeholders.
The webinar series provided theoretical insights and delivered actionable value through:
For financial institutions, compliance with these new standards isn’t just about avoiding penalties, it’s about protecting the very livelihoods entrusted to them. From retirement savings and insurance policies to day-to-day transactions, these institutions serve as custodians of enormous public trust.
As insurers and financial services firms brace for stricter enforcement and rising expectations, Cyberlogic and ENS are committed to helping them build and maintain secure “houses” that stand the test of time. This webinar was just one part of a larger strategy to build lasting cyber resilience in a high-stakes industry.
