The document summarizes the top 5 security risks in banking: 1. Insider threats from employees or third parties with access pose the main risk, responsible for 82% of breaches. A notable example is the 2015 Morgan Stanley data theft. 2. Poor cybersecurity investments, with most banks focusing on products rather than comprehensive defense strategies, leave them vulnerable to unknown threats. 3. Legacy technology systems, which 92% of banks say will hamper combating financial crime. Attackers have benefited from banks' outdated systems. 4. Malware, frauds, and data breaches have increased significantly. 40% of financial transactions now occur on mobile devices, increasing fraud risks. 5. Un

INTRODUCTIONWhen money is the at the top of the mind of
cybercriminals, where do they turn their heads to? The
Banking Sector. With countless operations including
Wealth Management, Trading, and Revenue
Management, Investor Accounting, it is no light matter
when we say that cybersecurity threats keep banks up at
night. With data breaches rampantly hitting all types of
organizations across the world, the banking sector, for
obvious reasons, stays under a constant and increased
pressure for safekeeping of their customer's data and
more importantly, their money.
According to PwC’s Global Economic Crime Survey 2016,
cyber crime is now the second most reported crime
globally. And a study done by IBM in 2016 says that
Financial Services ranks 3rd in the top 5 industries at risk
of cyberattacks, after Healthcare and Manufacturing.

RISK #1
INSIDER THREAT
An insider threat could be a
current or a former
employee who is responsible for
a security breach in an
organization.
82%
of financial organizations consider
insiders with legitimate access the
main threat to security.

In 2015, Morgan Stanley fired a
