New research from RedCompass Labs shows that FIs underestimate financial criminals, thinking they take about 4 months to adapt after detection. In reality, cybercriminals can exploit new vulnerabilities in days or even hours. As FIs increasingly rely on fintechs and vendors for services, their vulnerability to cyber-attacks grows. Effective third-party risk management is crucial. Join our Q4 GRC Tech Series webinar to learn strategies for managing vendor-related risks.
