238%

Threat actors go where the money is, so it's no surprise that cyberattacks on the financial sector have increased by 238%.

"Organizations from every sector struggle with certificate-related outages on critical infrastructure, but it’s clear that these issues are even more pronounced in the financial services industry. The entire sector is focused on trust, performance and reliability, so they can’t afford service interruptions."

Kevin BocekVP, Ecosystem and Community, Venafi

Challenges in financial and banking cybersecurity

Lack of visibility
Financial organizations use hundreds of thousands of digital certificates and keys, but most don't know where they're being used or for what purpose.
Struggle to maintain compliance
Managing compliance with financial sector regulations, including policies like PCI-DSS and GBLA, can cost up to $10,000 per employee. Outdated processes just can’t keep up with modern business and ever-evolving demands.
App and service interruptions
Customers need access to their account information 24/7/365, which requires careful management of all mobile apps, digital services and IoT devices. But complexity is increasing.
