Operational resilience, third-party risk management and cyber security are central to how financial institutions protect trust, stability and client outcomes. Recent years have shown how quickly a single failure can spread. The CrowdStrike update in 2024 and major hyperscaler outages in 2025 disrupted firms across the sector, while geopolitical tension and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled attacks are shrinking the time firms have to detect, respond and recover.

Risks no longer sit neatly in separate categories. Cyber, technology, data, third-party and geopolitical risks interact and amplify one another, and growing reliance on a small number of critical providers means resilience depends on dependencies firms cannot always see. As regulators move to oversee critical technology providers directly, and expect firms to evidence resilience rather than simply document it, firms must understand their full supply chain, test against severe but plausible scenarios and be clear on who owns concentration risk.

This Deep Dive brings together practitioners and industry experts to explore how firms can build operational resilience in an interconnected risk environment, confront concentration risk across the supply chain, and prepare for an AI world, with practical takeaways for moving from resilience that is documented to resilience that is defensible and demonstrable.

What is New for this Year: Collaboration with the Financial Markets Standards Board (FMSB)

Our opening debate is produced in collaboration with the FMSB and builds on its Spotlight Review, Non-Financial Risk (NFR): An Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Approach, published in August 2026. Developed by the FMSB’s practitioner-led NFR Working Group, chaired by Citi’s Darren Jarvis, the review sets out the principles of effective NFR management and shares practical insights from industry practitioners.

Inside the review
  • Where ownership of non-financial risk should sit, and why fragmented accountability lets issues recur
  • How firms balance controls with judgement, and why adding controls alone doesn’t improve decisions
  • How risks introduced early, through product design, onboarding or outsourcing, can crystallise later across several risk types
  • A three-stage development pathway for peer benchmarking
  • Case studies, including a system outage where a cyber compromise can’t be ruled out

About the FMSB
The FMSB is a private sector, market-led organisation created following the 2015 Fair and Effective Markets Review. It brings together senior market participants to develop standards, statements of good practice and spotlight reviews for the global community.
