Sharing data while keeping it safe is a major issue for financial service companies. In October, the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, an industry group that analyzes and shares cyber and physical threat intelligence, took on the challenge of finding a secure way to transfer information. FS-ISAC set up a unit called the Financial Data Exchange to create API and data-sharing standards for the financial services industry.

In this latest episode of Fintech Unfiltered, the podcast from Bank Innovation and its sister accelerator INV Fintech, newly appointment Financial Data Exchange (FDX) managing director Don Cardinal talks about the group’s mission, its growth plans and where it’s going to focus its attention, which includes the areas of data semantics and secure authentication.

Cardinal, appointed FDX managing director in early December, was previously senior vice president of global information security at Bank of America.
