Digitalisation, the increasing use of cloud-based business solutions and the networking of data, objects and systems through complex IT infrastructures and business processes open up enormous opportunities for the financial industry. Information assets are increasingly becoming the basis for value creation. They are an essential component for achieving corporate goals.

At the same time, however, this technical change also harbours unforeseeable risks and offers cyber criminals new attack surfaces. Because as the potential for the financial industry grows, so do the opportunities for hackers: they are professionalising their attacks by further developing tools and an increasing number of potential attack vectors. That is why targeted attacks with phishing lead to higher success rates for attackers and greater amounts of damage for victims.
