Cybersecurity is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. Banks have become goldmines for malicious actors as they not only safeguard customer funds but also hold a plethora of sensitive customer data. The rapid evolution of digital banking and the growing number of interconnected devices has resulted in customers finding it easier to manage their finances through online channels, exposing banking companies to increasing levels of cyber threats. The impact of cyberattacks on banks can be catastrophic, so stronger measures will be needed to counter the continuously evolving cyberthreat landscape. The analyst estimates that the total cybersecurity market across the banking sector will be worth $25.1 billion in 2027, having grown at a compound annual growth rate of 15.2% from $12.3 billion in 2022.
