Why Investment Firms Are High-Value Targets

Investment firms manage sensitive deal information and investor assets. Sophisticated threat actors target these firms for financial gain and competitive intelligence.

Deal Information Leakage

Investment strategies, position data, and M&A targets are high-value intelligence for attackers. A single breach can expose proprietary trading strategies and pending transactions to competitors or malicious actors.

Business Email Compromise

Wire fraud targeting investment firms has resulted in millions in losses. Sophisticated attackers impersonate executives and manipulate wire transfer instructions through compromised email accounts.

SEC Cybersecurity Requirements

Regulation S-P, Regulation S-ID, and new SEC cyber rules demand robust controls. Registered investment advisers must implement written cybersecurity policies and demonstrate ongoing compliance.

Third-Party Risk

Fund administrators, prime brokers, and service providers extend your attack surface. Each vendor relationship creates potential access points that sophisticated attackers exploit to reach high-value targets.
