Jon Waldman Talks Proactive Cybersecurity on the Banking on Information Podcast

I recently had the opportunity to join the Banking on Information podcast for a focused look at one of the most critical — and often misunderstood — areas in financial services: cybersecurity.

In this episode, we unpacked what it really means for banks and other regulated institutions to move from reactive risk management to proactive resilience. The discussion explored how our team at SBS CyberSecurity helps clients build and manage information security programs, test their defenses, and make smarter decisions around cyber risk, especially as AI, automation, and quantum computing reshape the threat landscape.

We talked about how banks are no longer just financial institutions — they’re technology companies — and why cybersecurity expertise is essential at every level of the business. We also covered compliance challenges, the value of independent validation, and the growing importance of continuous learning in anticipating threats and keeping pace with regulatory change.

For financial institutions operating in high-risk, tightly regulated environments, cybersecurity maturity isn’t optional — it’s a competitive advantage. This conversation offers actionable insights for leaders working to strengthen their security programs and build resilience from the inside out.
