SecurEyes Bats For Sustained International Collaboration in Central Banking Autumn Meetings 2025

RIO DE JANEIRO:

SecurEyes, a global cybersecurity firm, participated in the Central Banking Autumn Meetings 2025 held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, contributing to high-level discussions on safeguarding financial stability in an era of accelerating digital and geopolitical shifts. The event brought together leaders from central banks and international financial institutions to examine emerging cyber risks and the role of coordinated strategies in reinforcing resilience across the global financial system. Organised under the theme “International collaboration in a new era of cross-border economic disruptions and innovation,” the meetings addressed the growing interdependence of financial markets and the necessity for stronger cross-border cooperation.

SecurEyes took part in a panel discussion on “Strengthening Cyber Defences in Central Banking”, held under the Payments and Innovation track; to discuss how central banks are responding to evolving cybersecurity risks across the global financial system. The session was moderated by Karmendra Kohli, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SecurEyes, and was joined by Eliud Ramocan, Head of Cyber Resilience and Threat Intelligence at the Bank of Jamaica; Aristides Andrade Cavalcante Neto, Head of Strategic Management and Specialised Supervision Department at the Central Bank of Brazil; and Tomislav Ćorić, Vice Governor of the Croatian National Bank. The panellist discussed how global disruptions, technological acceleration and deeper financial integration are reshaping cybersecurity priorities across central banks.

The panel highlighted concerns related to third-party and concentration risks within interconnected financial ecosystems, the influence of geopolitical volatility on cyber preparedness, and the dual impact of artificial intelligence as both a defensive capability and a potential threat vector. The discussion underscored the need for enhanced intelligence-sharing frameworks and sustained international collaboration to mitigate systemic cyber risks.

Reflecting on the dialogue, Seemanta Patnaik, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of SecurEyes, observed that the perspectives shared by leaders from Croatia, Jamaica and Brazil illustrated the varied realities and priorities within global financial environments. He stated that the exchange brought attention to advancing themes such as climate-linked systemic risks, cybersecurity readiness, open finance models and the urgency for globally aligned policy approaches.

During the meetings, Mr Patnaik announced that SecurEyes plans to launch an AI-driven risk management platform in 2026 and introduced an enhanced version of the company’s regulatory compliance platform, SE-REGTRAC, reflecting the firm’s continued investment in technology-led governance and resilience.

The discussions in Rio reinforced the rising significance of cybersecurity within the central banking community, particularly as financial systems become more interdependent and vulnerable to cascading disruptions. Kohli noted that collaborative platforms of this nature play an important role in shaping preparedness and strengthening cyber resilience across global financial infrastructure.

Throughout the two-day programme, the SecurEyes leadership team engaged with central bank representatives and industry stakeholders on global threat environments, governance models for digital economies and readiness strategies to address evolving cyber challenges. The company reiterated its commitment to advancing secure and resilient financial ecosystems through knowledge-sharing, innovation and global partnerships.
