OSFF NYC TABLE TOP EXERCISE

As part of its continuous effort to identify and address Financial Services challenges and after conversations held with its Members, the Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS) has decided to focus on cloud native incident response readiness to complement and inform other work streams such as the Compliant Financial Infrastructure and the Common Cloud Control projects.

Our second initiative will be a cloud native incident response tabletop exercise (TTX), authored and delivered with FINOS Silver Member ControlPlane, at the upcoming Open Source in Finance Forum held in New York City, Sept. 30th and Oct. 1st.

A tabletop exercise is a gamified, highly-interactive and engaging session where both technical and non-technical security professional are guided through and have the opportunity to contribute to a live, end-to-end security incident simulation, bringing diversity of perspectives, past experiences and skill sets, gaining insights from each other and collectively improving the cyber security resilience of regulated industries such as FSIs. This is also a great opportunity to share and discuss any concern around the general industry’s response readiness against modern, evolving threats. 

Always with our Members’ most pressing issues at heart, we chose to build the TTX scenario around open source software supply chain and incident response on cloud native infrastructure for regulated industries. 

The format will be as follows:

• Part of the main event but held behind closed doors, under Chatham House rule.
• The core team (up to 10 individuals) will be formed with security professionals from any FSI organisation (FINOS membership is not a requirement).
• A few key highlights will be noted and presented to the Forum’s attendees at the end of the day as part of the closing remarks.
