Here are some key takeaways from our panel discussion on Cyber Risks at 24Fintech: 💡 Latest Trends in Cybersecurity: We highlighted the alarming rise in ransomware attacks, particularly targeting the financial services sector, with a staggering 65% increase. Many of these attacks exploit zero-day vulnerabilities, creating even greater challenges for fintech companies. 💡 Quantum Computing's Impact: On the horizon, quantum computing poses serious concerns about the future of encryption standards, urging us to rethink how we secure data in the long run. 💡 Phishing Attacks: Phishing remains the primary entry point for cyberattacks, accounting for over 80% of data breaches within fintech—a sobering statistic that demands more robust defense strategies. 💡 Insider Threats: We’ve also seen a 30% rise in insider threats, largely due to the shift to remote work and the ongoing talent shortage in cybersecurity. We also covered: The significant risk posed by high talent turnover in cybersecurity. The increasing importance of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) in mitigating cyber risks. The concept of Security by Design, embedding security from the ground up. The growing role of Artificial Intelligence in fortifying cybersecurity defenses.
