Navigating Human and Agentic Risks for Financial Institutions in the APJ Region

The Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) region, with its dynamic economic growth and technological advancements, presents unique challenges and opportunities in the realm of human risk management and agentic risk management, particularly within the financial services sector.

How Digital Onboarding Lowers Security Risk

Digital onboarding is often treated as an HR or client success process. It should also be treated as a security control. Every new employee, contractor, vendor, or client creates access decisions.

Something fundamentally shifted in cybersecurity. Claude Mythos, Anthropic’s frontier AI model, signaled the arrival of what the Cloud Security Alliance called an “AI vulnerability storm,” a world where vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited at machine speed. This is a compression event, collapsing timelines, expanding attack surfaces, and forcing a rewrite of how organizations think about security operations, software development, risk, and ultimately, business survival.
