CRM is a critical piece of technology infrastructure that underpins a firm’s ability to deliver next-generation financial services. It connects organizational silos to drive customer and business value. CRMs are integrating AI and adding intelligent agents to boost productivity and deliver personalized customer experiences at scale. This makes CRM an indispensable tool for financial services firms aiming to enhance customer experiences, streamline operations, and drive growth.Despite the benefits, we often hear that financial services firms struggle to justify the investment in CRM modernization, and firms that have done so say that they’re struggling to extract value. This makes it more important than ever to choose the right vendor. But the financial services CRM market is bifurcating, making vendor choice even harder.Key takeaways: Understand the financial services CRM market, key vendors, and common financial services use cases.Learn how AI (predictive, generative, and agentic) is transforming CRM and what it means for financial services firms.Uncover the mistakes that are leading to the underutilization of CRM by financial services firms.Identify the key considerations that should inform financial services firms’ CRM purchasing decision.Target audience level: intermediate and advanced

The CISO is the arbiter of confidence and protection for the business in a world of geopolitical strife and shifting allegiances; regulatory hurdles and changes to AI and tech; quickly emerging and changing technologies in generative AI (genAI); and constantly evolving cybercriminal activity, including deepfakes. In 2025, five threats will affect security teams more than any other: global regulatory disruptions, high-quality deepfakes, tech exuberance over genAI, job loss radicalization, and genAI-driven extortion. Security pros need to prepare in advance.Key takeaways: Global regulatory disruptions: Data-related policies, regulations, and standards are becoming less aligned between domains and across countries.High-quality deepfakes: Attackers are increasingly using deepfakes because of their ability to cast doubt on security, trust in the media, and brand reputation. Deepfakes impact verification and authentication for almost every user group, including customers, business partners, and workforce members.Tech exuberance over genAI: Enterprise adoption of genAI continues to accelerate as models proliferate, training costs come down, and deployment options increase. But tech and security leaders are learning hard lessons about how different models behave — and the work required to make them secure — as new models emerge.Job loss radicalization: A new economic reality has emerged in 2025 with a flurry of activity that saw job cuts to 4% of the US federal government workforce, massive tech layoffs, and job cuts in Europe. Employees who remain after layoffs are not happy.GenAI-driven extortion: Between continued law enforcement disruption of ransomware gangs and enterprises’ greater focus on business resilience and data backups, ransomware became less lucrative for cybercriminals in 2024. Before genAI, stealing data was only so useful — reviewing millions of emails takes far too much time. Now, with genAI, attackers can perform a quick sentiment analysis on troves of stolen data for extortion schemes.Target audience level: intermediate
