Why Financial Institutions Are High-Risk Targets

Disproportionate Breach Risk

Financial firms accounted for 27% of all breaches worldwide in 2023, making them the single most attacked sector.

High Loss Cost

U.S. breaches now average $10.22 million per incident, with regulatory penalties and remediation contributing heavily.

Prevalent Phishing & Social Engineering

Human error remains a top cause—over 90% of breaches involve user missteps or compromised credentials.

Third-Party & Supply Chain Exposure

Up to 15–30% of breaches stem from vendor systems or cloud integrations.

Emerging AI-Powered Attacks

45% of financial firms report AI-driven threats—deepfakes, automated malware, and phishing using generative tools.

Unpatched & Legacy Infrastructure

Roughly 32% of breaches exploit outdated or unpatched software—common in mergers, acquisitions, or legacy systems.

Regulatory Scrutiny & Board Pressure

Institutions face demands from NYDFS, FTC, GLBA, PCI DSS, and audit teams expecting continuous risk validation.

Inadequate Incident Response Readiness

Many institutions lack the processes or speed to detect and contain breaches—delays drive up impact, fines, and reputational damage.

How TitanSec Solves Your Security and Compliance Challenges

01

Proven Risk Reduction (~60% fewer major breaches)

We simulate advanced scenarios — enhanced phishing, credential theft, insider escalation, unpatched software — to uncover exploitable weaknesses that standard scans miss, delivering exactly the kind of deep insight shown to reduce breach frequency.

02

Fewer Incidents & Lower Cost When They Occur

By identifying high-risk vulnerabilities before attackers do and helping you remediate them, we help prevent breaches or minimize their impact. This aligns with industry findings of 50% fewer breaches and 30% lower incident costs.

03

Stronger Human Defense, Fewer Social-Engineering Failures

Given that over 70–90% of breaches stem from human error and social engineering, we offer phishing simulations and behavioral testing. This not only identifies weaknesses, but also elevates team awareness—reducing human-led breaches by up to ~72%.

04

Resilience Against Supply Chain & Legacy Risks

Up to 30% of breaches come from third-party or vendor systems. We actively test third-party integrations, API endpoints, and cloud connections to identify hidden risks often left unchecked.
