The financial sector faces evolving cyberattacks, challenging cybersecurity teams to create effective strategies to stop attackers. Whether dealing with continual social engineering campaigns, new technological environments, or stopping brand impersonations that target customers, financial institutions must be proactive to outfox the adversary.
In the first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2022), the financial sector faced an increase in botnet and malware deployment, as well as banking trojans targeting customers. Although there was a decrease in Initial Access Brokers (IAB) and ransomware, they remained some of the most significant threats to the sector.
