Post-event summary
The webinar titled “Securing Data in the Era of GenAI & LLM Technologies,” co-hosted by the EDM Council and Seclore, featured a dynamic and insightful discussion among industry experts:
- Mark Sutera, VP for Enterprise Sales, Seclore
- Jay Como, Head of Enterprise Data Governance & Operations, T. Rowe Price
- Tom Dunlap, Managing Partner, DIACSUS
- Mark Davies, Partner, Element22
- Jim Halcomb, Moderator
The panel brought together industry experts to discuss the integration and implications of generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) within the financial services industry. They engaged in a comprehensive dialogue on how these emerging technologies are reshaping data management, security, and quality standards.
The conversation revolved around the essential practices for managing the surge of unstructured data generated by GenAI and LLMs, emphasizing the need for stringent data governance, risk assessment, and adherence to evolving regulatory frameworks. With financial services firms increasingly relying on these technologies for various operations, the panel highlighted the significance of implementing robust data classification, protection mechanisms, and maintaining comprehensive visibility and control over data flows. These measures are critical in ensuring data integrity, safeguarding sensitive information, and complying with legal and ethical standards.
Mark Sutera’s insightful comment, “protect the data, [so] if [intruders] come in… it’s irrelevant. And it does make it a harmless data breach, because the data they exfiltrated they can’t put in the dark web. They can’t do anything with it. It’s inaccessible,” succinctly captures the webinar’s central theme. This perspective underscores the importance of proactive and preemptive data security strategies in nullifying the potential threats posed by unauthorized access or cyber-attacks. By adopting such forward-thinking approaches, financial institutions can not only leverage the advantages of GenAI and LLMs but also ensure the protection of their digital assets in an increasingly complex cyber landscape.
