[Infographic] Cost of Attacks and Top Threats to Financial Institutions in 2022

Being prime targets for cyber attacks because of the high volume of personal information and financial assets, financial institutions experience more breaches while costs continue to rise. Securing your data on the cloud is vital to business and might save you from potential financial loss. Read on to know about top threats that can put your company’s assets at risk and best practices that can make a positive impact on your cloud security.

According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2022, 83% of organizations have had more than one data breach and only 17% say that it was their first one. The report was conducted by studying 550 organizations impacted by data breaches that occurred between March 2021 and March 2022, across 17 countries and regions and in 17 different industries. With an average of USD 5.97 million as data breach costs, financial organizations are in the top two industries, second only to the healthcare industry, with the highest average - and top threats include ransomware, phishing, third-party risks, etc. Every year, this number only increases as more and more organizations require the need of a solid cloud strategy in place to avoid data breaches.

Recently, Horangi Cyber Security and Singapore FinTech Association conducted a knowledge-sharing workshop on ‘Cyber Risks and Solutions to Combat Threats in ASEAN 2022’.
