Cyber resilience is becoming a strategic priority for financial institutions as today’s threat landscape grows more sophisticated, with disruptions carrying greater operational consequences. Yet many banks still rely on cyber GRC processes that are manual, reactive, and difficult to scale. According to RegScale’s 2026 State of Continuous Controls Monitoring Report, only 25% of financial services organizations have adopted continuous controls monitoring, underscoring that many banks have yet to transition to an operating model capable of providing continuous visibility into the effectiveness of security controls.

This podcast episode explores how banks can modernize cyber GRC by replacing manual, audit-driven processes with a more automated, continuous, and risk-aware approach that strengthens their cyber resilience.
