Financial IT receives contributed articles that, almost invariably, are forward- looking. The contributions identify the trends that apply in technology generally, cybersecurity, payments, and so on.

Questions of security, opportunity and diversity This Editor-in-Chief’s letter is being written as Russia’s armed forces are mounting what appears to be a full-scale invasion of Ukraine – a truly appalling outcome after months of mounting geo-political tension. It remains to be seen what is (or will be) the role of cyber-warfare in this conflict. This edition of Financial IT is dedicated in no small part to how technology can boost security in financial services.
