Unlike in the past, where money existed as physical objects rather than electronic data, today’s financial market is about to be transformed into an increasingly digital one. The ability to protect digital financial assets has become a key priority for those working in the finance industry.
There is an increasing likelihood that banks, investment houses, and insurance firms will be placed on the frontlines of a cyber-warfare that is rapidly deteriorating, targeted by criminals that are becoming more sophisticated by the day.
