It’s no surprise that the finance sector has always been a prime target for cybercrime. From bank details to investment portfolios, the sheer volume of sensitive information at stake heightens the risk. When this information ends up in the wrong hands it’s incredibly dangerous.
The financial services industry has long been a target for cyber crime, which isn’t at all surprising given the vast amounts of sensitive financial data that these institutions hold. This includes anything from bank details to investment portfolios, which can be incredibly dangerous if they land in the wrong hands. Regulatory penalties, financial loss and reputational damage are just some of the impacts of a breach.
While many companies are aware of cyber threats and actively welcome initiatives to reduce their risks, the multifaceted challenge they present can make this a tricky task.
Keeping up with digital advancements also means keeping up with the evolving cyber threats that come with them. Add in AI, blockchain and cloud computing – it becomes a tough balancing act.
The finance sector is governed by numerous regulations and standards. Ensuring compliance is resource intensive and costly. Failing to comply results in hefty fines, loss of business and trust.
Individuals with access to confidential client data can misuse this information for personal gain or expose it through human error.
