European Cybersecurity Month is the EU’s annual awareness campaign that takes place each October across Europe.

The aim is to raise awareness of cyber security threats, promote cyber security among citizens and organisations.

Emerging Fintech startups around the globe are facing the same challanges regarding regulations, capital and financial innovation.

Though it’s a rich tapestry of services that make up the fintech world, they’re united by one challenge: cyber security.

A fintech startup handles extremely sensitive data, and that means your business has to fortify the infrastructure against cyberattacks.

Investing in security for a fintech startup needs to be a top priority to ensure customer confidence for your products and rise the potential of profitable exit within the industry.
