In November 2026, cybersecurity experts emphasize the need for fintech companies to embed cyber resilience into their operations as cyber attacks remain the top risk for businesses in Ireland since 2021. Leann Moroney from Aon Ireland highlights that as fintechs innovate and expand, they face increased vulnerabilities, necessitating robust risk management strategies. The interconnected nature of digital services means that a single cyber incident can lead to business interruptions, regulatory issues, and reputational damage. Regulations like DORA and NIS2 are pushing firms to enhance their cybersecurity measures.
