The finance industry's work with third parties increases its risk to phishing attacks. These cybercrimes can trick staff into revealing sensitive data or downloading harmful content, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, monetary loss, and reputational damage.

Ransomware

Ransomware encrypts vital data and demands ransom forits release, while malware infiltrates networks and systems, stealing or destroying sensitive information and resulting in operational disruptions, loss of data, financial burdens, and legal ramifications.

Data Loss

Data loss can occur due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, or cyber-attacks aimed at destroying or stealing medical information resulting in disrupted operations, customer dissatisfaction, lost intellectual property, legal liabilities, and even business closure.

User Risk

Human errors in cybersecurity, like weak passwords or clicking malicious links, can threaten sensitive financial data, causing financial loss and reputational harm. The increasing risk with staff turnover requires consistent security training against potential data theft by departing employees.
