Financial IT challenges
Financial and professional services have been transformed by IT and are heavily reliant on technology to function. Digital records and electronic storage have created the paperless office, and the instantaneous electronic transfer of funds and access to client’s financial systems is now commonplace.
However, with the benefits of financial sector IT systems come new risks and challenges. Notably, data security is more critical than ever, as electronically stored data is easily accessible and exploitable. The security of networks and increasingly popular cloud services are of ever-growing importance, as is managing the risks presented by employees who work from home.
