Email Security for the Finance and Payments Sector

In the dynamic world of finance, trust is paramount, yet cyber threats are constantly eroding it. A shocking 84% of financial executives cited phishing as their top cybersecurity concern in Finxtech’s 2025 Risk Survey. This isn’t just a number; it’s a stark warning.

Financial institutions, handling vast amounts of sensitive data, are irresistible targets for cybercriminals. They face email attacks at a rate 50% higher than other industries, leading to an average data breach cost of $5.9 million in 2023 — 33% higher than the cross-industry average.

Despite massive cybersecurity investments, email remains the number one security vulnerability. Malicious email attacks, including phishing campaigns and impersonation attempts, target employees and customers. Without proper email domain protection, financial organizations remain highly exposed, allowing cybercriminals to exploit trusted brands and inflict immense damage.

Fortunately, DMARC provides the essential email security protocol to combat these threats effectively. By implementing and enforcing DMARC, alongside SPF and DKIM, you can directly fortify your email infrastructure against sophisticated attacks.
