At ACA, innovation is key to addressing complex cybersecurity challenges. Isaac Niedrauer, Senior Principal Consultant with ACA Aponix, is particularly proud of the team's work on the launch of ACA Vantage for portfolio oversight. “Our Vantage product is one of the most transformative of its kind. It enables asset managers to apply data-driven decisions and an analytical approach to cybersecurity, much like they do with other strategic performance data.

⚠️ Are financial services firms ready for #AI risks? Our 2024 AI Benchmarking Survey in partnership with the National Society of Compliance Professionals says "not yet"! In an era of rapidly evolving technology, financial firms are eager to adopt AI but may be underestimating the need for effective risk management. Our survey reveals that while most firms are using or exploring AI, only 12% have implemented an AI risk framework, and few have formal testing programs in place. Without these safeguards, AI tools could expose firms to compliance challenges and even regulatory action. AI is increasingly becoming a target for regulatory attention. As these concerns grow, financial firms must address the complexity of integrating AI by implementing strong frameworks, performing robust testing, and upskilling teams in AI risk management.
