The Need For Greater Focus On The Cybersecurity Challenges Facing Small And Midsize Businesses, Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar, U.S. Securities And Exchange Commission*, Oct. 19, 2015

Date 22/10/2015

I. Introduction

The internet has become an indispensable tool in today’s business world. Companies of all sizes have woven the internet into almost every aspect of their operations, a trend that is likely to accelerate as companies embrace mobile and cloud computing to an even larger degree. And while the internet has fostered a tremendous degree of economic growth, it has also introduced profound security risks. Reports of massive data breaches have become commonplace, and the average cost of such breaches reached record levels last year. Cybersecurity is clearly a concern that the entire business community shares, but it represents an especially pernicious threat to smaller businesses. The reason is simple: small and midsize businesses (“SMBs”) are not just targets of cybercrime, they are its principal target. In fact, the majority of all targeted cyberattacks last year were directed at SMBs. Even more disconcerting is the fact that cybercrime represents an existential threat for SMBs. It has been estimated that half of the small businesses that suffer a cyberattack go out of business within six months as a result.

Progress On prudential Regulation And Three Areas To Complete - Speech By Andrew Bailey, Deputy Governor, Prudential Regulation And Chief Executive Officer, UK Prudential Regulation Authority, Given At The City Banquet, Mansion House, London

Date 22/10/2015

My Lord Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen - it is a great pleasure to be here again at the regulators dinner, and it is very good of you to entice so many people here tonight with the prospect of an evening with regulators.  I won’t speculate on how this ranks on the scale of evenings spent in our cosmopolitan capital city.  It is also a great pleasure to be speaking here tonight with Tracey.

The Rapidity Of Change - Speech By Tracey McDermott, Acting Chief Executive At The Financial Conduct Authority, Delivered At The City Banquet - Mansion House

Date 22/10/2015

My Lord Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you for that kind introduction. It is a great pleasure to be here this evening.

We are joined in London this week by the Chinese president. His presence here made me reflect on the phrase 'may you live in interesting times'.  This is often described as a Chinese saying although according to scholars there is, in fact, no equivalent phrase in Chinese and thus there is some doubt about its true origins. There is, however, no doubt that the last few years have indeed been interesting times for the financial services industry. And it is fair to say that it has been pretty interesting for regulators too.
