Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's fintech companies could expose payment APIs, customer KYC data and open banking tokens, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why fintech companies are targeted: Fintechs move money through APIs. A single broken authorisation check or leaked key can drain accounts within minutes.
