The Fintech revolution not only offers tremendous opportunities for the development of financial industry, but also poses unprecedented risks and challenges to financial institutions. Cyberattacks, from viruses to Trojan Horses and other advance cyberthreats, have kept evolving over the past few years. TrickBot, a classic malware, has infected more than 250 million email accounts since 2016, according to the report from Forbes.
Customer
data is always the prime target of hackers. While developing the innovative applications
of Fintech such as virtual banking and electronic payment, massive amounts of
data (transaction records, personal data, account data, and more) are generated. If these critical data are not managed and
stored properly, it will bring potential information security risks to financial
institutions. Therefore, before developing a Fintech project, make sure an
effective information security measures are in place and potential
vulnerabilities are addressed to minimize cybersecurity threats.
The widespread
use of fintech applications has broadened the digital attack surfaces of
financial institutions as well. Hackers may take advantage of the vulnerabilities
in these new surfaces to carry out system exploits. Some financial institutions
may lack the understanding of advanced cyberattacks and effective measures to monitor
network systems and identify vulnerabilities, which will be severely exposed to
cyberattacks. They have no choice but to take immediate actions to equip
themselves with security measures to safeguard their businesses.

Information Security Discovers Potential Threats
