INTRODUCTION

Financial institutions are the second most frequently attacked organizations after healthcare and suffer particularly from credential and ransomware attacks. In the past year, 74 percent of financial institutions have experienced a rise in cybercrime. Banks face a triple burden when it comes to cybersecurity: complex infrastructure, high-value assets, and high expectations from customers and regulatory agencies. More and more, we are coming to understand that the size of the institution is irrelevant. Regional banks face as much risk as global institutions. In some ways, the risk is greater, because the cost per record stolen is higher, and there are fewer resources available to dedicate to cybersecurity.

The average total cost of a data breach in the financial industry in 2021 was $5.72 million.
