Sentry representatives had the pleasure of visiting the trading floor of the legendary NYSE and observe the launch of a brand new IPO. While the times of a busy trading floor with lots of shouting, pushing, sweating are memorialized forever in Hollywood movies, the reality today is that trading and moving money is now fully digital, with the NYSE trading floor being more of a backdrop for CNBC’s financial TV programs.
Cybersecurity issues have been brought up as topics with the representatives of NYSE and other staff due to the extremely strict security procedures that are adopted to ensure the safety and continuity of all financial markets. It’s to be commended, that NYSE has taken extensive steps in strengthening its cybersecurity posture in order to protect not only the economy of the United States but the world as a whole.
