Financial Institutions in the Crosshairs of Cybercriminals

Ransomware Remains the Biggest Cyber Threat to Financial Institutions

The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has identified ransomware attacks as a major cybersecurity threat. The sophistication of attacks is increasing, leading to costly and complex incident response.

Surge in Cyberattacks Since the COVID-19 Pandemic

A study reveals that 74% of financial service providers have experienced an increase in cybercrime since the COVID-19 pandemic. Botnet, ransomware, and phishing attacks have each risen by 35%.

Financial Impacts and Risks

56% of financial service providers suffered greater losses due to fraud or cybercrime in the past year. The BSI warns that cyberattacks can jeopardize financial systems and overall financial stability.

Challenges Posed by Remote Work

42% of financial service providers reported that working from home leads to reduced security. This creates potential vulnerabilities in networks and infrastructures.
Financial institutions must prioritize cybersecurity in 2024. Only robust protective measures can effectively ward off these risks.

FAQ: Cybersecurity in the Financial Sector

Which cyber threats are particularly relevant for financial institutions?

Financial organizations face significant risks from ransomware, hacking, and social engineering. We are also seeing more and more "cybercrime as a service". At ByteSnipers, we help you stay ahead of these new threats to keep your data and systems safe.

How can we improve the security of our online banking platform?

Wir empfehlen einen mehrschichtigen Ansatz: Verwenden Sie eine starke Authentifizierung, verschlüsseln Sie Daten, achten Sie auf seltsames Verhalten und setzen Sie Zeitlimits für Sitzungen. Zusammen bilden diese Maßnahmen einen starken Schutzschild gegen Bedrohungen für Ihr Online-Banking.

What compliance requirements must financial service providers meet with regard to IT security?

The list is long: DORA, PSD2, GDPR, Basel III, and PCI DSS. Don't worry, we can help you navigate these regulations and put the right incident reporting and risk management systems in place so you can comply.

How do we protect ourselves from insider threats?

Insider threats are tricky, but we have strategies: restrict access, look for unusual behavior, prevent data loss, and train all employees on security issues. The idea is to create a culture of security awareness.

What security measures are recommended for mobile banking apps?

For mobile applications, we focus on strong login processes, data encryption, regular updates, and fingerprinting the device. This helps identify and stop threats before they cause problems.

How can cybersecurity be improved cost-effectively?

The good news: Better security doesn't have to break the bank. We can help with employee training, open source tools, smart use of cloud services, and regular security scans. It's all about being smart with your resources.

How are employees made aware of security risks in the financial sector?

Cybersecurity Awareness Training should be fun and memorable. Think interactive lessons, simulated phishing tests, clear policies, and even security games. It's all about making everyone a part of your security team.

How can cyber attacks on payment systems be prevented?

To protect payment systems, we use real-time monitoring, data encryption, strict access controls, and two-step login processes. We also make sure you comply with important security standards, such as PCI DSS.

How do we integrate cybersecurity into our risk management?

We help you integrate cybersecurity into your overall risk analysis. This means analyzing cyber risks, planning for incidents, measuring the impact of cyber risks, and involving security experts in key decisions.

What are the best practices for cybersecurity in banks and financial institutions?

We recommend a mix of strategies: Build a solid security system, test defenses, use AI to detect attacks, carefully manage identities, stop data leaks, regularly train employees, and constantly update security policies.
