What Verizon’s 2025 DBIR Reveals About the Future of Financial Sector Cyber Risk

Presented by

Troy Leach, Chief Strategy Officer at CSA and Christopher Novak, Vice President of Global Cybersecurity Solutions at Verizon Business

About this talk

The 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) offers a detailed view of the threat landscape facing the financial and insurance industries. With 74% of breaches tied to System Intrusion, Social Engineering, and Basic Web Application Attacks—and 90% financially motivated—attackers are doubling down on high-reward, low-resistance targets. In this FinCloud Friday webinar, Troy Leach, Chief Strategy Officer at CSA, and Christopher Novak, Vice President of Global Cybersecurity Solutions at Verizon Business, will unpack the report’s most critical findings and connect them to emerging cloud and AI threat dynamics. The discussion will explore: • External Threat Dominance: What the 78% of breaches involving external actors reveal about modern attacker tactics—and how defenders can better allocate security resources. • Cloud Misconfigurations & IAM Failures: How common mistakes continue to drive cloud breaches, with lessons learned from incidents like Snowflake and insights from CSA’s latest Cloud Threat Report. • AI as an Attack Force Multiplier: How adversaries are weaponizing AI to enhance phishing and automation, and what financial institutions must do to stay ahead. • Systemic Risk & Third-Party Exposure: From SolarWinds to CrowdStrike, what cascading breach effects teach us about dependency and supply chain security. • Strategic Outlook for 2026: DBIR-aligned priorities for improving resilience, visibility, and governance across hybrid and multi-cloud financial ecosystems. Join us to decode what the DBIR 2025 trends mean for your organization’s cloud defense, risk management, and compliance posture and learn how to operationalize these insights into proactive strategies for the year ahead.
