Financial Services

Financial services organisations are prime targets for cybercriminals, with the sector experiencing some of the highest volumes of cyber attacks globally. Banks, insurers, superannuation funds, and wealth managers hold vast quantities of sensitive financial and personal data, making them attractive to both organised crime and nation-state actors.

Regulatory Landscape

APRA-regulated entities must comply with Prudential Standard CPS 234 (Information Security), which requires maintaining information security capabilities commensurate with the size and complexity of the entity. Non-compliance can result in significant regulatory action and reputational damage.
