Finance & Insurance : State of the cyber threat in 2026

In August 2025, a compromise at a single technical vendor was enough to expose the data of 672,075 customers across 74 different banks. Not one of them had its own systems breached. This is just one of the cases documented in our 2026 sector report on the state of the cyber threat for Finance and Insurance.

In this 45 minute session, Quentin Siennicka and Marie Giesbert look back at what has changed for the sector this year:

– How dependency on shared vendors moved from a theoretical risk to a demonstrated incident, and what DORA concretely makes of it
– Why identity and the authenticated session have become the new breaking point of attacks, ahead of the network perimeter
– How insurance, long treated as a subset of banking, is now emerging as a distinct risk profile with its own modus operandi

You will leave with a clear read on what is documented today (concentration among third parties, North Korea’s pervasive presence, AI as an assistant rather than an attack author) and on what remains forward looking, so you don’t conflate the two registers in your own decisions.

One hour. A sector under pressure. The cyber threat intelligence that matters.
