Financial Institutions in Guadeloupe Face Growing Cybersecurity Risks
As the global financial landscape continues to evolve, financial institutions in Guadeloupe are facing unprecedented cybersecurity challenges.
Study Reveals Alarming Statistics
A recent study conducted by Unit 42 has revealed that the financial services industry is 300 times more likely to be targeted by cyber attacks than other sectors. The costs of these attacks far surpass those of any other industry, making it a significant concern for financial institutions in Guadeloupe.
Vulnerabilities Identified
The study found that financial institutions in Guadeloupe are particularly vulnerable to:
- Social engineering tactics: nearly one in five business email compromise (BEC) cases reported in the sector
- Insider threats: 16% of cases attributed to insider threats

COVID-19 Pandemic Exacerbates Risks
The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these risks, with a recent report revealing a 238% surge in targeted cyber attacks on banks in Guadeloupe.
