PIMFA Webinar: UK Cyber Attacks: Lessons Learned in 2025 & What’s Coming Next in 2026

Cyber criminals don’t care if you’re a global retailer or a boutique wealth manager — if you hold sensitive client data, you’re a target. High-profile cyberattacks on household names like Co-op and Marks & Spencer have exposed just how quickly trusted brands can be brought to their knees. These incidents offer a stark warning for wealth managers: client trust is fragile, operational disruption is costly, and third-party risk can devastate even the strongest institutions.

But what does this mean for wealth managers in 2025 and beyond?

In this forward-looking session, PIMFA and cybersecurity specialists Mitigo will take you on a journey:

• Look Back: The defining UK cyberattacks of the past 24 months — how they happened, what went wrong, and the common threads that wealth managers should recognise.
• Look Forward: The evolving threat landscape — AI-driven phishing, deepfake-enabled fraud, insider threats, and supply chain attacks targeting financial firms.
• Actionable Playbook: Practical steps to strengthen resilience, prepare your staff, and build a governance framework that can withstand both today’s and tomorrow’s attacks.
