Paul Jackson, Head of Asia-Pacific Cyber Security & Investigations Practice, Kroll (Paul.jackson@kroll.com)

Paul Jackson is Asia-Pacific Leader for Kroll’s Cyber Security and Investigations Practice, based in the Hong Kong office. Over a career spanning more than 25 years of service in some of the region’s highest levels of law enforcement and corporate enterprise, Paul has earned a stellar record of achievement as a cyber security practitioner, strategist, and thought leader.

Paul was the APAC Head of Fraud and High Tech Investigations for JP Morgan Chase Bank.From 2012-2014, he relocated to New York where he served as the bank’s Global Head of High-Tech/Cyber Investigations. In this role, Paul managed a global team of cyber investigators and responders throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, focused on addressing the pressing needs of managing the evolving threats faced by a global financial institution. Executing on these objectives involved, among other efforts, redesigning global cyber laboratories and introducing new forensic technologies to enhance the efficiency and capacity of the team. In addition to serving as a strategy leader, Paul personally conducted numerous investigations, successfully resolving several major incidents that included, among others, a well-publicized breach, data exposure, reputational issues, employee misconduct, insider threat, and electronic fraud.

Technology advancements have changed the way financial services operate, but they have also ushered in new challenges and threats.

What are the risks, how big are they and what is the impact? Eg. Data theft versus system shut downs – which has a greater economic threat?

Cyber criminals have exposed vulnerabilities of financial institutions to disturbing effect. Is it more effective for banks to counter cyber risks on their own, or collectively as an industry? Would it help to have a central regulator for bank cyber security? When assessing counterparty risks, how much weightage is placed on their cyber security controls?

The establishment of regulatory controls and standards can only go so far, and the industry itself need to do much more to improve the situation – getting the basics right in a legacy environment, sharing best practices, building a security-based culture etc.

How much closer are we to creating ‘unhackable’ systems? Can quantum computing or other technologies present a cost-efficient solution?
