Banking & Insurance: Defend Against Targeted Cyberattacks
Protect your critical systems and customer data with malware detection solutions built for the financial sector’s regulatory requirements.
A sector under intense regulatory and cyber pressure
Banks and insurance companies face a triple challenge: constant exposure to targeted cyberattacks, tightening regulatory requirements (DORA, NIS2, PCI DSS), and the need to safeguard massive volumes of sensitive data. According to ENISA, between January 2023 and June 2024, 488 publicly reported cyber incidents hit the European financial sector and 46% of which targeted banks. The average cost of a data breach in financial services reached $6.08 million according to IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2024 report, 22% above the global average.
Attack surfaces multiplied by digitalization
The financial sector’s digital transformation has dramatically expanded file exchange channels: supporting documents uploaded to customer portals, contracts shared via email, claim evidence submitted by policyholders. DDoS attacks have been particularly concentrated on the sector, with 58% targeting banks in 2023–2024 according to ENISA. The European Banking Authority’s (EBA) 2024 Risk Assessment Report found that over 50% of European banks experienced at least one cyberattack in H2 2023. More concerning: 27% of banks reported suffering at least one successful attack leading to a major ICT incident, up from just 11% a year earlier.
Addressing cybersecurity challenges in the financial sector
Secure business applications
Automatically analyze every file uploaded to your customer portals and management applications before it enters your IT environment — ensuring sector-specific compliance and zero compromise through malicious uploads.
Protect Microsoft 365 email
Detect phishing attempts and malicious attachments targeting your employees and customers. Phishing is the leading attack vector in 36% of social engineering cases according to ENISA.
Accelerate investigation and incident response
Reduce alert qualification time and automate the analysis of suspicious files. Organizations that detect threats internally save nearly $1 million per incident (IBM 2024).
