HAMILTON, Bermuda--An authority on cyberterrorism, a former Unite States (US) National Security Agency counterterrorism chief, is one of the special guests at the Bermuda Captive Conference in September.
Managing Director, Head of Wealth Management Data Security and Infrastructure Risk at Morgan Stanley Rachel Wilson will share her experience as a world-leading adviser on data security, cyber and infrastructure risk.
The keynote speaker is sponsored by Gold Sponsor Graystone Consulting, a business of Morgan Stanley.
In her current role at Morgan Stanley, Wilson is responsible for the protection and governance of all sensitive data across wealth management networks, applications, hardware and users in both physical and digital form.
Her team works to secure data from all manner of loss, theft or compromise. They also manage all forms of infrastructure risk, including technology risk, business continuity, disaster recovery and resiliency and vendor and third-party risk, ensuring that all wealth management data meets regulatory and statutory privacy requirements.
She advises wealth management leadership on data security and cyber-risks, threats and mitigations and oversees employee and client education and engagement on privacy, data security and cybersecurity topics.
Prior to joining the firm in 2017, Wilson spent 15 years at the National Security Agency (NSA), where she held several key senior executive-level leadership positions. Between 2008 and 2010, she ran their counterterrorism operations and led a global enterprise in detecting and disrupting terrorist plotting against the US and its allies. Between 2010 and 2012, she served as NSA’s chief of operations in the United Kingdom (UK), working out of the US Embassy in London. In this role, she worked with UK intelligence services to counter terrorist and cyber threats to the 2012 Olympics.
Returning to the US in 2012, Wilson spent nearly five years leading NSA’s cyber exploitation operations as the deputy and then chief of the remote operations centre within the NSA’s tailored access operations. In this capacity, she led the planning and execution of thousands of cyber exploitation operations against a wide array of foreign intelligence, military and cyber targets, and served as the committing official for many of NSA’s highest risk and most important intelligence gathering activities.
