We’re proud to announce the launch of a strategic partnership with CyNam, the Cheltenham-based UK cyber technology and secure technology network.
The partnership brings together our expertise in financial services technology and cyber infrastructure with CyNam’s extensive network within the UK’s cyber ecosystem. We will work with CyNam on a range of initiatives, including:
- Knowledge sharing to tackle cybersecurity threats impacting financial services.
- Mentoring and talent development, with Iress supporting CyberFirst South West and contributing to mentoring programmes to nurture current and future cyber and tech professionals.
- Co-hosting industry events to drive discussions on cybersecurity and emerging technology trends and challenges.
Alistair Morgan, our UK CEO, and Ian McKenna, our global Chief Information Security Officer, were on hand to celebrate our partnership when it was formally announced last week at CyNam’s 10th anniversary celebrations in Cheltenham.
Alistair said: “Our UK headquarters in Cheltenham is home to our global cyber team, so we’re delighted to partner with CyNam to strengthen the link between financial services and cybersecurity and help to develop the next generation of cyber talent.”
Ian added: “The CyNam partnership is a key one for Iress. We are at the cutting-edge of cyber technology utilising artificial intelligence and industry-leading tools and processes, and we see this partnership as an opportunity to engage with the UK’s vibrant cyber ecosystem to help shape the future of secure financial technology.”
Hollie Wakefield, General Manager at CyNam, added: “This partnership with Iress aligns perfectly with our objective to connect our cybersecurity community with emerging technologies. By working together, we can foster a stronger relationship between fintech and cybersecurity while ensuring future tech talent is equipped with the skills needed to meet evolving industry demands.”
Plans are already under discussion for an Iress innovation event in May, and a combined presence at the renowned Cheltenham Science and Literature Festivals in June and October.
