More Information
Modern digital attackers are anonymous, hidden behind screens, and mostly sophisticated in staying undetected. To protect their assets, banks have gained a lot of experience in cybersecurity. And they developed high security standards. But do they always succeed? And is it true that they are much more secure than other types of organizations? More importantly, what can you learn from a bank so you don’t fall victim to these attackers?
In this webinar, we dive deeper into the differences between big banks and smaller financial organizations and fintech companies. As Secura’s financial market team, we have loads of experience in testing cyber resilience at both banks and fintechs. We know the common flaws, but also what separates both worlds. We will share insights with hands-on examples on how to improve your cyber security.
