Defending Financial Services in a Complex Threat Environment
Financial services and insurance organisations are core to the UK economy, contributing over £200 billion annually and remain a prime target for cybercriminals (1). It’s estimated that 17% of global cyber incidents impact this sector, with 74% of breaches involving system intrusion, social engineering, or application-layer attacks (2).
As digital transformation accelerates, so does the complexity of IT estates—introducing more entry points, regulatory scrutiny, and operational risk.
