The finance sector has routinely been a target of cyberattacks, primarily due to the vast amounts of money and personal data that financial services companies store and process.
Cybercriminals are using the digital transformation of banking services, such as mobile banking, to launch financial crime attacks.
Furthermore, technological advances have created new opportunities for criminals to exploit vulnerabilities in an organisation’s financial system.
Every sector is different, this includes the specific cyber challenges.

Cyber challenges in the finance sector
Financial services organisations are among the most heavily targeted in the world, handling sensitive data that criminals will go to significant lengths to access.
Every transaction, credit report and customer interaction involves sensitive data that, if compromised, can result in severe financial and reputational damage.
The financial sector is heavily regulated and firms must navigate a complex and constantly evolving set of requirements to maintain consistent compliance.
With many firms now operating hybrid and remote working models, maintaining consistent security standards outside the traditional office environment is an ongoing challenge.
The finance sector is a prime target for cybercriminals, making the prevention of attacks a constant priority that requires regular testing, system updates and staff awareness.

Pharmacy2U
Founder
WorkNest Secure stand out in the field of penetration testing due to the skillset of people they have working there. We undertook a complex bespoke pentest with them, which required a lot of pre-work in order to make sure it was scoped correctly, and they took the time to come onsite to make sure all was correct prior to commencing.
From my experience with them, they are very intelligent people with a deep understanding of the security landscape, and we will continue to use them for future testing requirements.
