Industry series: Fintech 🔍

From mobile transfers and electronic payments to cryptocurrency trading, the fintech industry is improving the efficiency and convenience of the financial sector.

Many fintech companies have become cloud-native, built to deploy new services and scale operations on-demand rapidly. Leveraging the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency that cloud computing offers, fintech firms can innovate at a pace traditional financial institutions struggle to match.

However, with innovation comes responsibility—particularly in the realm of security.

As the financial sector is one of the heaviest regulated in the world, failing to implement proper security systems can have major repercussions.

Consequences for security breaches include:

⚠️ Erosion of Customer Trust:

A single data breach can destroy the trust that takes years to build, directly impacting customer retention and revenue.

⚠️ Legal and Financial Penalties:

Fines for data breaches, such as GDPR violations, imply fines of up to 20 million Euros

⚠️ Increased Exposure

Weak security practices can leave companies vulnerable to cyber threats, resulting in more frequent attacks, loss of capital, and increased costs.
