Bermuda Captive Conference unveils counterterrorism expert as speaker
The Bermuda Captive Conference, scheduled for September 12-14 as a hybrid event, has unveiled an eminent keynote speaker who will address conference delegates on day two: September 13.
Rachel Wilson is the managing director, head of Wealth Management Data Security and Infrastructure Risk at Morgan Stanley. She will share her experience as a world-leading advisor on data security, cyber and infrastructure risk.
In her current role at Morgan Stanley, Wilson is responsible for the protection and governance of all sensitive data across Wealth Management networks, applications, hardware and users in both physical and digital form.

In this role, she worked with UK intelligence services to counter terrorist and cyber threats to the 2012 Olympics. Returning to the US in 2012, Wilson spent nearly five years leading NSA’s cyber exploitation operations as the Deputy and then Chief of the Remote Operations Center within NSA’s Tailored Access Operations. In this capacity, she led the planning and execution of thousands of cyber exploitation operations against a wide array of foreign intelligence, military and cyber targets, and served as the committing official for many of NSA’s highest risk and most important intelligence gathering activities.
