AI-Driven Threats Are Driving Increased Investment in Cyber Threat Intelligence
December 13, 2025The financial sector is facing a crucial moment in cyber risk. Threat actors are advancing faster than traditional controls can keep up, third-party exposure is increasing, and AI is transforming both attack methods and defensive strategies. As institutions gear up for 2026, one key theme emerges: resilience will distinguish the leaders from the vulnerable. I recently wrote an article for Finance Derivative that explores this shift in detail: why resilience is important, where the pressures are coming from, and how financial institutions can turn cyber readiness into a competitive advantage. In the piece, I discuss:
- Why third-party and supply-chain dependencies remain the sector’s biggest blind spots
- How AI is fueling a new wave of attacks and defenses
- Why resilience, not prevention, will determine financial stability
The strategic actions financial institutions should prioritize as 2026 approaches. If your organization is considering cyber strategy, governance, or operational preparedness for the year ahead, this analysis will help you understand the landscape and the key decisions to make.
