Upcoming Webinar on Security Measures in the Securities Industry

As the securities industry faces rising incidences of security breaches and account takeovers, Liquid Corporation, based in Chuo, Tokyo, is set to hold a comprehensive webinar on August 7, 2025. This free session will delve into passkeys, a multi-factor authentication method designed to resist phishing attacks, emphasizing their increasing importance in the financial sector.

Background of the Webinar

In response to the frequent reports of account takeover incidents involving securities accounts, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) has begun to revise its comprehensive supervisory guidelines for financial product trading businesses. This revision aims to enforce the implementation of robust identification measures for online transactions, specifically mandating the use of phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication techniques, including passkey-based verification and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication as default settings.

This webinar will provide an overview of the underlying issues that prompted the guidelines' revisions while reflecting on the various strategies employed by different financial institutions to enhance their security measures. Understanding the unique features of passkeys and practical implementation guidance will be essential topics covered in the session.
