Allen: “The CEOs are very concerned, very aware, and proactively addressing the concerns of information security” Cross channel payment risk is a major concern for the CEOs of these 100 largest financial institutions, Allen says. The most significant thing is the most damaging cyber threat facing financial institutions and our customers today, and in your opinion have we been winning this war against cyber crime?
