Challenge
Why financial services firms face elevated technology risk.
Financial services organizations hold the combination of data and access that attackers value most — account credentials, investment records, personal financial information, and wire transfer authority. Regulatory frameworks are becoming more demanding at the same time that attack techniques are becoming more sophisticated.
01
Financial services organizations remain high-value targets because client assets, identity data, and trust are central to operations
02
SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules have increased board-level attention on incident governance for public companies
03
SEC and state regulators are increasing scrutiny of registered investment adviser cybersecurity programs, while FINRA expectations remain central for broker-dealers
04
Business email compromise targeting wire transfers can create severe financial and client-trust exposure
