Cyber security challenges for smaller financial organisations

Compliance obligations now include cyber security

Whether you are a regulated company or have clients that pass on their obligations to you, cyber security is a key concern that can impact sales and the ability to run your business.

Phishing and email scams are increasing

In the last 2 years there has been a 5x increase in online fraud, mostly originating from email. Fraudulent invoices and gift card scams are still the most common type of scams that occur.

Staff need to work remotely

With the global change in working styles, businesses need to cater to remote employees and work-from-home arrangements, which opens up businesses to more types of cyber attacks.

Ransomware attacks are not stopping

Smaller businesses are targeted more as hackers aim to extort businesses with a seemingly lower cyber defence footprint. There has been a 10x increase in ransomware attacks, with more than 70% targeted at smaller businesses.
