To protect the world’s financial ecosystem, FS-ISAC’s global network of cybersecurity, resilience, and fraud experts must be able to navigate a constantly evolving cyber landscape. And the stakes are high.

Every day, lone hackers, organized gangs, and nation-state threat actors challenge the operational resilience of the financial services sector. Powerful new tools enable more effective fraud, ransomware, supply chain, and DDoS attacks, among other threats. Emerging technologies, geopolitically-motivated cyber activity, and new regulation complicate an already complex operational environment. 

However, the financial sector's established information-sharing systems prove that by exchanging early threat warnings, offering mitigation strategies, and practicing incident response, we can safeguard the global financial system and its users.

This annual industry-wide report highlights key threats and trends in the 2025 cyber landscape — and our highly-anticipated predictions — for the financial sector. Fill out the form on the right to download our findings. 

Report Methodology
The Navigating Cyber 2025 report is derived from FS-ISAC’s rigorous threat intelligence monitoring maintained by its intelligence operations team. The intelligence is sourced from FS-ISAC's thousands of member financial firms in 75 countries and further augmented with analysis by the Global Intelligence Office. Multiple streams of intelligence were leveraged for the curation of the report, which examined data across a one-year period from January 2024 to January 2025.
