Today’s guests explain why regulators are right to be concerned about finance execs use of encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp and WeChat. They discuss what communications behaviour they think the world’s finance watchdogs should be looking to next and they outline how the world’s largest companies are navigating the challenges of monitoring employees’ mobile conversations.
