Cybersecurity in Payments – Thematic Research

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

As the banking and payments world becomes ever more digitized, any providers that do not follow the trend will risk losing out. Fintechs are aiming to disrupt the traditional players, while consumers are demanding a digital environment to conduct their banking and payment activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated the shift towards a digital world. Payment providers need to be constantly vigilant about cybersecurity in the digital era, as fraud is an ever-growing threat.

Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and self-learning malware. In addition to keeping consumer data safe, providers themselves are at risk of attacks from cybercriminals. In the modern payment market, it is essential that providers maintain a robust cybersecurity strategy supported by a sound infrastructure and security services.

As the world’s payment environment becomes more cashless, the growth in digital payment transaction value increases. This translates to a growing opportunity for providers of cybersecurity products and services, as banking and payment providers look to utilize newer and more advanced cybersecurity infrastructure and services to fend off cybercriminals.

What are the main trends shaping the cybersecurity in payments industry in the recent future?

Technology trends

AI plays a key role in defending against cyberattacks, especially when hackers are implementing methods including the use of AI that make cyberattacks more difficult to detect. In the payments space, AI will play a key role in fraud detection and prevention.

Banks and payment providers are also constantly trying to keep up with managing and securing customer identity and authentication processes. Many from the technology industry, along with banking and payment providers, are part of the FIDO Alliance, where members aim to address issues around passwords and authentication.

Macroeconomic trends

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased cyber risk significantly. Remote working is here to stay, with most office-based employees working from home for the foreseeable future. Attacks will continue to target the tools used by remote workers, including fake requests to reset VPN accounts, faked sign-in pages, or bogus incoming chat request from colleagues on corporate messaging systems.

Psychology will be a focus in cybersecurity as with any anti-crime work. While hackers and malware authors try to understand how targeted organizations or systems work to get around and outsmart them, successful cyberattacks are usually at least one step ahead of those trying to defend the enterprise. Therefore, cyberattack prevention will also involve understanding what is going on in the minds of hackers and malware authors.

Regulatory trends

The US government has stepped up its legislative activity and enacted several laws to try and reduce its vulnerability to cyberattacks. Cybersecurity-related bills for Washington departments and agencies to prevent cyber breaches include the Cybersecurity Vulnerability Remediation Act (which allows the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity Agency to issue protocols to mitigate vulnerabilities); the Federal Risk Authorization and Management Program (which enables the US federal government to access cloud computing services using a risk-based approach); and the 2019 IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act (which gives the National Institute of Standards and Technology the authority to manage IoT cybersecurity risks for devices acquired by the federal government).

What are the insights of the cybersecurity in payments industry analysis?

Opportunities and demand for cybersecurity protection in payments will continue to grow across the world as the value of payment transaction grows. Over 2019-24 the size of payment transactions by value will continue to grow, especially in the payment card and mobile payments spaces.

Over the next few years, the key area of growth for payments will be ecommerce as consumer purchasing habits continue to shift from offline to online. As payment gateways and the ecommerce segment record higher volumes and values of transactions, they will experience greater challenges on the security front. Therefore, over the next few years, ecommerce transactions will be a key area for cybersecurity service providers to target.

According to fraud data tracked by UK Finance, fraud derived from ecommerce transactions is the fastest-growing area by value. Between 2011 and 2020, the value of fraud in the ecommerce space had the highest growth rate, followed by online payments, and card present transactions. While tackling fraud is crucial across all areas of payments, opportunities will be most pronounced in the ecommerce space.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
