Security for a sector where
every digital transaction matters<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Financial institutions process large volumes of transactions and sensitive financial data every day, making them an attractive target for cybercriminals. A successful attack can lead directly to financial loss, fraud and disruption of financial services. The interconnected nature of the financial sector means the impact can also extend beyond a single organisation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The security challenges in Finance<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Financial services are becoming increasingly digital. Customers manage their finances online, payments are processed automatically and financial services are available 24\/7. As a result, the digital attack surface continues to grow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFinancial institutions face attacks every day, and the threat landscape continues to evolve. Ransomware is on the rise, while AI makes phishing and vishing more convincing and easier to scale. At the same time, DORA, the Dutch Cybersecurity Act and supervision by DNB place high demands on digital resilience, with frameworks such as TIBER-EU and ART used to test that resilience in practice.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
