From cybercrime to cloud, mastering the threats that shape financial security
South Africa’s financial services sector is one of the most targeted by cybercriminals, accounting for about a quarter of all cyberattacks on the continent. According to SABRIC, banking-related cybercrime in the country nearly doubled between 2023 and 2024. From banks to insurers, institutions are under unprecedented pressure to safeguard sensitive data, maintain trust, and meet increasingly complex compliance demands.
The Security in Finance Conference 2026 will bring together CISOs, CIOs, regulators, and technology leaders to unpack the latest threats, fraud risks, and regulatory challenges. This forum will unpack the latest trends in cybersecurity, fraud prevention, regulatory alignment and secure innovation, offering practical strategies for financial institutions to stay ahead of threats, while driving digital trust.
Key threat trends under discussion will include ransomware, phishing and BEC scams, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the fast-emerging risks of AI-driven fraud and deepfake-enabled attacks. As the sector races into digital transformation, securing financial services against todays and tomorrow’s risks is not just critical but the very foundation for trust, compliance, and sustainable growth.
