White paper: Cyberattacks in the financial services industry
Cyberattacks are a very real and quickly growing threat – dangerous for individual consumers as much as the global financial system. As digital infrastructure continues to evolve, so does the sophistication of cyberattackers, who use techniques like corporate account takeover (CATO), spear phishing, and digital fingerprint theft to steal your identity, lock you out of your accounts and drain your funds. With the IMF admitting uncertainty over who is supposed to protect against cyberattacks, it’s crucial that consumers understand how to protect themselves.
According to Iskander Sanchez-Rola, Director of Innovation at Gen Digital, organisations without expert cybersecurity providers are eventually doomed to fail:
“Banks are trying to help their customers, but they’re not set up to carry out the research, innovation and work needed to stay on top of the latest threats.”
Reuters, in partnership with Gen Digital, has produced a white paper exploring the threat that consumers face and the ways that they can improve security. Featuring interviews with chief information security officers (CISOs), innovation directors and senior security engineers at commercial banks, software companies, and universities, this free white paper succinctly covers what you need to know about the cat-and-mouse game of cybersecurity.
Don’t leave your customers’ digital safety to chance – arm them with the knowledge they need to stay protected in an increasingly complex cyber world.
The “Cyberattacks in the financial industry” white paper covers:
