    Cybersecurity for Financial Services Institutions

    Overview

    Financial data is a prime target for hackers.

    Cyberattacks don’t just put your data and customers at risk. A major breach that spreads to multiple firms could snowball into a full-on financial crisis. By focusing on email security, ransomware protection and employee training, Mimecast covers the full spectrum of cyber defenses you need to stay one step ahead of the threat.

    Challenges

    The stakes are high for financial firms

    As the number and sophistication of cyberattacks rise, theirs is the most targeted industry, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) .

    Customer data under attack

    Personally Identifiable Information (PII) has never been more valuable on the dark and deep web. Cybercriminals will stop at nothing to get their hands on it — the IMF says financial services is the most cyberattacked sector.

    Reputations at risk

    Financial services brands are built on dependability and security. A successful cyberattack calls that reputation into question for existing customers and prospects alike.

    Compliance demands

    Financial industries have always been highly regulated, but the explosion in digital services has brought about even more stringent regulation around data protection, retention and archiving.

    Industry Challenges

    How we've helped different industries

    Secure your email, and your clients’ email, with best in class security provided by a Mimecast secure email gateway.

    With customer data under attack, reputation at risk, and compliance mandates to meet, the financial services industry must rise to the occasion with cyber resilience strategies to keep this important data secure.
