Cyber Security Solutions
Cyber security is becoming an increasing focal point for all global regulators. In response, we have established a dedicated cyber security solution.
The financial services industry is a significant target for cyber security compliance criminals, perhaps second only to the federal government. Creating a robust cyber security compliance program that incorporates technology professionals and processes as early as possible in the lifecycle of a firm is essential to ensure that good practices and habits are created and embedded from a firm’s inception.
The importance of implementing a cyber security program
The following most recent cyber security statistics highlight the importance of implementing a cyber security program:
- it is estimated that cyber crime cost the world over US$6trillion in 2021
- 60% of mid-size businesses go out of business within six months of a security breach
- 95% of cyber security breaches are caused by human error
- stolen credentials cause 61% of security and data breaches
- there is a material shortage of cyber security advisors worldwide
- remote working has had a costly effect on data breaches.
