Threat Landscape
Top Threats to Financial Services
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)
State-sponsored and organized crime groups conduct long-duration campaigns against financial institutions, maintaining persistent access to exfiltrate sensitive data and intellectual property over months or years.
Wire Fraud and BEC Attacks
Business email compromise attacks targeting financial institutions use sophisticated social engineering to redirect wire transfers, manipulate invoices, and impersonate executives to authorize fraudulent transactions.
Credential Theft and Account Takeover
Attackers use credential stuffing, phishing, and infostealers to compromise employee and customer accounts, gaining access to trading platforms, banking systems, and customer portfolios.
Ransomware Targeting Financial Data
Ransomware groups specifically target financial institutions for their high-value data and low tolerance for downtime, threatening to expose client financial records and trading data if ransoms are not paid.
Insider Trading Data Exfiltration
Malicious insiders or compromised accounts can exfiltrate material non-public information, trading algorithms, and client data for insider trading, competitive advantage, or sale on dark web markets.
Third-Party and Vendor Risk
Financial institutions depend on extensive vendor networks for payment processing, market data, compliance tools, and cloud services. Each vendor represents a potential attack surface that must be continuously assessed.
