Cybercriminals are using the digital transformation of banking services — such as mobile banking, to launch financial crime attacks. Furthermore, technological advances have created new opportunities for criminals to exploit vulnerabilities in an organisation’s financial system.

Complying with a range of financial service regulations and ensuring consistent compliance: The financial sector is heavily regulated, with firms required to adhere to numerous guidelines and laws.
Maintaining security standards with those who work remotely post-pandemic: Financial firms must now ensure that security standards are met, even outside of the traditional office environment, to protect sensitive data and systems from potential threats.
Preventing cyber attacks and breaches: With the finance sector being a prime target for cybercriminals, preventing cyber attacks and breaches is an ongoing challenge. This involves consistently updating and testing security systems, and training staff to recognise and respond to threats.
