The Cyber Security Challenges In Transacting

Keynote 09:30 10:00

Massimiliano Michenzi Europol EC3 - Payment Fraud & Crime Specialist

Universal implementation of EMV cards in the EU has shifted the focus on fraud from card-present to card-not-present activities. Fighting payment fraud — in particular that involving credit and debit cards — is one of the three mandates of Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3).

Card-not-present fraud, often referred as carding, accounts for the majority of fraudulent card transactions in the SEPA area.

At this keynote, Massimiliano will share the EUROPOL's position and efforts in some of the key operational areas:

• ATM malware and skimming devices • E-commerce fraud with a focus on the transport (airlines), retail

and accommodation sectors. • The acquisition and trading of compromised financial data

The Changing European Payment Landscape

MAR.

8th

Thierry Chilosi Head of Markets & Initiatives Europe, Middle-East and Africa SWIFT

The European payments industry is facing changes that will have a profound impact on the future of the financial sector.

The first is around the modernisation of infrastructures, with the emergence of new retail instant payment services and also the upgrade of wholesale payment services to include richer functionalities. The European Central Bank is pressing ahead for more efficient and integrated pan-Eurozone solutions and industry participants across the continent are working towards this goal, but there are particular complexities around the delivery of this vision.  There are many initiatives happening in parallel and these all need to fit together if the Eurozone’s response is not to end up being fragmented.  

At the same time, new regulations are proving to be a game changer for the European landscape. PSD2, for example, which will drive better services for customers, is also opening the way for new technologies and new business models.

Digital innovators are being quick to capitalise on these opportunities. The challenge for banks is to keep up with the pace of innovation while concurrently operating more efficiently in an increasingly regulated context. Banks must adapt and evolve as these changes have the potential to transform not just European but global and cross-border banking.

TRACK A1 11:30 12:15

Monica Monaco Founder and Managing Director TrustEuAffairs

This session will allow you to learn more about the regulatory strands of work European and non-European regulators are currently engaging in and which are likely to shape the global payments landscape in the next two to three years. Data economy and data portability, the digitalization of banking, online platforms and the European Directive on Geoblocking, the e-identity legislative developments as well as the 5th AML Directive, the PSD2 implementation and the draft E-Privacy Directive are among the regulatory developments which will be discussed.”

George Evers Immediate Payments Services Director, VocaLink

Real-Time Payments; at last !   Yes, the global adoption of real-time payments is picking up speed! Pushed by new (Fintech) developments, bank RTP network initiatives in Europe are taking off!

instant payments are becoming essential as we face real-time delivery in the industrial (just-in-time delivery and production) as well as general life (communication, delivery of goods and services). In our track we will discuss the upcoming implementation of instant payments and share insights on the latest  ECB  investigation whether there is a business need for delivering an instant settlement service, i.e. TIPS (TARGET Instant Payment Settlement).

In this context a need for real-time – i.e. instant – payments arises. The ERPB tackled this topic as of late 2014 and as a consequence the EPC delivered the SCTinst Scheme in November last year. The ECB has – besides fostering the work of the ERPB – worked intensely with the clearing industry preparing to prepare the conditions under which an efficient clearing of instant payments is possible in order to achieve pan-European reach. 

Jean-Michel Godeffroy will moderate a top panel setting of insiders with Helmu Wacket (ECB), George Evers (Vocalink) and Domenico Scaffidi (ACI Worldwide).

TRACK S1 11:30 12:15

• What do we see going wrong in practice? • Why is this not sustainable? • How can you deal with new threats, new laws and all that

technology?

The essence of "Security by Design”

With great new possibilities come great new security and privacy challenges and threats for the financial sector. Systems are increasingly connected, increasingly complex, increasingly open and increasingly under threat of criminals and cyber vandalists. The proof of this can be read in the papers almost every day. The growth of financial high-tech is faster than ever, bringing new security possibilities and issues, and at the same time there is still a large base of legacy that is not going anywhere, also bringing challenges with respect to security risks.

Software plays a large role in these threats because it is central in the processing of information. It is with good reason that in the new “PCI DSS 3.2” it is now explicitly required that the source code should be reviewed by experts prior to releases. This is essential to really find the weaknesses buried in these systems that cannot be found using the regular security tests. These weaknesses require 100 times more effort to fix than to build it right in the first place, which is why it is so important to practice “security by design” as early as possible in the development process.

New privacy regulations, especially the GDPR, require that – apart from securing personal data – the way of processing this data also needs close attention. Regulation fines are higher than ever.

In this key track session, we will take you through observations we made during the many software security & privacy assessments that we performed, to show you and share with you the pitfalls of unconscious incompetence. Next we will analyze why we are seeing the same mistakes over and over again. This allows us to address the root causes to come towards a ‘set of steps’ that is essential for your daily practice to secure your business and your clients interest and trust.

Don Ginsel Founder Holland Fintech Amsterdam

Open Banking: learning from professionals

The development of Open Banking is accelerating fueled by both customer demand, competitive Fintech pressures and last but least, the recently adopted regulation of PSD2 and GDPR. Especially the provisions for ‘Access to the Account’ require banks to ‘open up’. It is up to the individual leaders to which extent they would like to ‘open up’ beyond compliance, i.e. defining their level of ‘platformisation’.

We are moving to a world with financial delivery and innovation will be defined and ‘clicked together’ by retail and commercial (often mobile) customers. The prerequisite is then that banks and Fintech players can seamlessly co-operate together where banks are acting as a platform facilitating their customers to have control over their account and data and the parties they wish to connect with.

Earliest by the end of 2018 the obligatory PSD2 ‘openness’ should become available in the EU-28 region. In the meantime, banking and Fintech leaders are grappling with the implications and the required actions.

On EPS we will devote ample time on this important development, by inviting leading practitioners in the emerging field of ‘Open Banking’ to share their experiences with us and to look ahead on what it takes to make a blossoming sector out of this new possibilities in the coming years

Henrique diLorenzoPires | Innovations Manager | UL Transaction Security | The Hague

We see major developments in the financial sector and mobile environment. Increasingly biometrics are being used for mobile authentication for applications. That includes financial transactions. In the payments scheme we see that roles are being redefined and new business models are emerging.

It seems that we are in the middle of a changing paradigm, There is a lot at stake, going along with several questions: – What is the future of banking? – Who will be able to serve the client the best? – Will client contact become only digital?

In any scenario is starting to play a key role: for convenient mobile authentication, to secure digital onboarding and internal security. In all these dynamics we move into new territories, which includes the mass use of biometrics. However, despite the huge successes of certain features like the iTouch of Apple, we still have many issues that need to be addressed, such as the quality and reliability of biometric authentication, the uses of open standards, interoperability, privacy and data protection and legislative aspects. During the track we will zoom in on these issues with some leading experts in the field.

Fighting Payments Fraud with Data Science

MAR.

8th

TRACK S2 15:15 16:00

Globally the financial services industry is increasingly adopting faster payment systems, enabling people around the world to benefit from the speed and convenience of transferring money 24/7. Unfortunately, fraudsters are also quick to leverage the benefits of faster payments.   Fraud can have devastating implications for both businesses and individuals, resulting in large financial losses, business closures and job cuts. Stolen funds are regularly used to support crime, banks or their customers usually have to bear the cost, and at the moment once money leaves a bank account it is rarely recovered.   Session will give attendees answers to some of the biggest questions facing the payments industry today: • What are the fraud implications for banks and their customers

following the implementation of faster payments? • How can an industry-wide approach to data sharing, together with

cutting-edge data science, help in the fight against fraud? • What are the challenges facing financial institutions when trying

to protect their customers from fraud? • How can the banking industry respond and keep pace going

forward? • How can payments data be better used in the fight against fraud?

Next Generation X-Border Payments: The end of correspondent banking?

MAR.

TRACK B3 16:30 17:15

Anders la Cour Chief Executive Officer Saxo Payments London

The digital space is shifting the payments landscape. We now live in a world of intermediaries – businesses that tend not to have assets of their own, but provide the marketplace that bring together sellers and buyers. Think Uber, eBay, Airbnb, even Google.

These businesses are providing the conduit for trillions of dollars of trade. But the correspondent banking infrastructure is stopping them being truly global. It’s currently too hard to manage many banking relationships in many countries.

What’s the answer? A whole new ecosystem is rapidly emerging which provides the infrastructure for business to business cross border payments without any need for correspondent banks.

3 ‘take-aways’ • To succeed as a multi-sided platform, you need 3 things

• 1) the network effect – leverage other people’s assets, • 2) maintain a ‘thin’ balance sheet and • 3) technology

• Success also comes from customer-focus – don’t lose that focus by trying to be the utilities that underpin your business

• Make the payment process a reason your customers choose you – it should be a facilitator rather than a barrier to success. It can even be a revenue stream for you.

Jeremy Grant | Managing Director | The Chertoff Group | Washington

When “done right”, strong customer identity and authentication solutions are not something to fear but something to embrace – they become the “great enabler” of more efficient, bespoke transactions that delight customers.

With increasing intersection of identity and payments across the world – the need to build strong identity solutions baked into online and mobile payments is critical. Is it possible to have strong authentication that not only does not degrade the user experience, but actually enhances it?

Join Jeremy Grant in this eye-opener keynote where he shares experience from leading the National Program Office for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), the first new cybersecurity program launched by the Obama Administration.

He will discuss: • some perspective on where we’ve been – both in the U.S. and Europe

– on identity, and look ahead to where we’re going, both on government and industry efforts.

• How identity solutions can be synced with online and mobile payments

• On the recent battle over the PSD2 authentication rules, are some of the panic from companies in the payments space tied to them not looking hard enough for the right authentication solutions? Can there be strong authentication which still satisfies user experiences?

Jeremy Grant a Managing Director at The Chertoff Group, where he works with the Firm’s clientele to develop growth strategies, identify market solutions and advise on policy impacts across the information technology, transactions and cybersecurity sectors. In this role, Mr. Grant utilizes his diverse background and deep understanding of business, technical and policy issues around identity, privacy and cybersecurity, having served in a range of leadership positions spanning government and industry. Prior to joining The Chertoff Group, Mr. Grant established and led the National Program Office for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), the first new cybersecurity program launched by the Obama Administration. Housed in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Mr. Grant led the Administration’s activities across private and public sectors to drive a marketplace of more secure, privacy-enhancing identity solutions for online services. In this role, Mr. Grant coordinated development of a common shared identity service for citizen-facing government digital applications and helped establish the private-sector led Identity Ecosystem Steering Group, which is crafting a framework of standards and rules to enable a trusted online environment that can validate the identities of individuals securely with minimal disclosure of personal information.

Keynote 10:00 10:45

Douwe Lycklama | Founder | Innopay | Amsterdam

Andrea Servida | Head of Unit | European Commission DG CONNECT H4 - “e-Government & Trust”

Gerard Hartsink Chairman of the GLEIF Board

Last year on July 1st the European direct electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (eIDAS) came into effect. This ground breaking regulation seeks to harmonise the internal market for digital identity services, such that business and citizens can interact safely and freely with businesses and governments.

At the same time eIDAS was drafted in 2014, the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) was set up by the Financial Stability Board in order to create better transparency of entities dealing with each other

In this keynote panel moderated by Douwe Lycklama of Innopay, Andrea Sevida of eIDAS and Gerard Hartsink of GLEIF will explain how these developments affect the e-business world and in particular the financial industry. Questions and angles include:

Open API Banking: Financial Lego in Payment Solutions

Gijs ter Horst CMO at Ximedes

Joris Portegies Zwart CTO of Ximedes

The common strategy for banks can almost be captured by paraphrasing Kennedy: "Ask not of your client to go to the bank, but make the bank go to the client". Survival requires putting the customer at the heart of the bank's service proposition, which requires a fundamental shift in the way banks are organized.

Experts say that to be `where the client is' requires integration of banking services into third party channels, and the bank to publish, document and deliver open APIs to their systems.

This may be true, but it is also rather abstract. In this talk we will explore some practical examples of using these API's, both in the physical and n the digital domain. What do these APIs offer, and how does that benefit both consumers and business alike?

1. Small-ticket lease for the SMB. Opening up leasing to the big public requires a drastic simplification of this inherently complex product. But, creating effective APIs on simplified leasing product opens up interesting new financing options for the SMB.

2. Offering foreign exchange services. At this moment it requires a lot of effort for SMB's to get a FX-contract with a bank, can this be simplified? And can SMB's be offered FX-options right when they need them?

3. Offering a PSP which includes Retail Finance options such as invoicing and payments by installments. The success of parties such as Klarna proves that such an offering is very compelling to consumers.

4. PSD2 - Another often-made point is the need for banking APIs to comply with PSD2. However, any third party connecting to these APIs will have to worry about correctly authenticating consumers and dealing with authorizations

The discussion of the ‘uberization’ of payments in making the process completely frictionless at checkout and contextual commerce – meeting the customer where and when they want to purchase. i.e. social media apps or recipe pages.

How will the big eCommerce giants drive the direction for payments innovations? And what do small players do to catch up?

Plenary Keynote Panel: China as one big ‘Sandbox’ of innovations

China and India are perceived as the two key nations with the most innovations in the transaction space. China’s ecommerce market is still expanding and forecasted to reach $1 trillion in 2020.

Mobile payment giants Alipay and WeChat Pay are going head to head to win market share as Alipay retains its lead. Next to that we see that Chinese payment providers do follow the affluent Chinese shoppers both at home and abroad. Chinese tourism to Europe is growing exponential. So “follow the client” is what we see happening. But will it be more? How will key Chinese payments developments effect the European payment landscape and what to expect from new entries in the European market.

This panel will discuss the key trends in China on payments innovation, next to key insights of the developments in Europe by one of the leading providers: Alipay. The session will be a dual presentation, leaving ample time for Q&A and discussion with the experts presenting.
