The intrinsic link between financial and operational resilience

Food for Thought: Why operational integrity now defines financial strength

In partnership with 

In today’s volatile and highly scrutinised business environment, financial resilience can no longer be separated from operational resilience. For C-level leaders, the stability of enterprise value, shareholder confidence and regulatory standing now hinges on the integrity of core systems, data and security architecture.

 

What to expect

This HotTopics Food for Thought breakfast discussion, in partnership with Zscaler, explores a non-negotiable reality for modern leadership: operational failures and security breaches are no longer isolated technical issues — they are material financial events.

 

This session will examine how legacy security architectures have become both a growing financial burden and the single greatest source of operational risk. Together, we will challenge the status quo of complex, costly security models that undermine resilience rather than enable it.

 

Through peer-led discussion and expert insight, we will explore how modern, Zero Trust-based approaches can fundamentally transform security from a defensive cost centre into a strategic business enabler — strengthening operational continuity, protecting enterprise value and reinforcing long-term financial resilience.
