The EU T+1 Industry Committee’s much-anticipated High-Level Roadmap has made an unequivocal commitment to an October 2027 transition date. However, the Roadmap presents legally non-binding recommendations rather than mandatory obligations, which may dispel a sense of urgency around the task at hand. As we saw with the UK’s Accelerated Settlement Taskforce report, market alignment is most successful when firms engage early, prioritise automation and prepare thoroughly. In our latest article we highlight three key areas within the Roadmap that firms should prioritize as they prepare for the transition. ➡️ https://www.capco.com/intelligence/capco-intelligence/eu-tplus1-transition Author: @Steve Higgins
What can the Aflac breach teach us about the future of cybersecurity in insurance? It’s a reminder that the biggest threats aren’t always technical. Social engineering tactics like phishing and impersonation are proving just as effective, especially when attackers target help desks and credential resets. Our latest blog dives into: ✔️ How the Aflac incident reflects a broader shift in attack patterns ✔️ Why the human layer is both the biggest vulnerability and a critical defense ✔️ What insurers can do to strengthen non-technical safeguards ✔️ Four key questions every insurance leader should be asking Cybercriminals are evolving fast. The insurers that stay ahead will be the ones that rethink traditional defenses, embody a security-first culture and turn people into a true security asset.

Many financial institutions focus on immediate savings like headcount cuts or vendor reductions at the expense of long-term efficiency. Without addressing structural inefficiencies or aligning efforts with strategic goals, these institutions risk reduced capacity, operational friction, and stalled growth. This blog explores how aligning talent, optimizing workflows, and better leveraging technology can eliminate low-value work and drive lasting impact. By combining tactical cost actions with strategic transformation levers, institutions can build a more resilient, scalable, and efficient future.
