1. The Rising Tide of Cybersecurity Threats.

As incidents of cybercrimes targeting banks are evolving with higher intensity and effectiveness, banks are turning to stronger encryption technologies to secure client information and avoid hacking. As noted in the 2023 Global Cybersecurity Report, the number of ransomware attacks and phishing attacks aimed at financial services companies has increased sharply. To reduce these risks, there is encryption software that encodes information so that if the information is stolen, it cannot be easily understood. Consequently, organizations have paid much attention to the implementation of E2EE and encryption for data at rest and in transit to develop strong protection measures against cyber threats.

2. Zero-Trust Architecture Gains Traction

Banking has taken up the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), which is a philosophy of ‘never trust, always verify’. ZTA has an objective of ensuring that data is guarded through the imposition of high-level access control measures on internal users as well. In line with this model, encryption software is increasingly using real-time analytics, multi-factor authentication, and artificial intelligence-driven anomalies in an attempt to protect data.

OMB Memorandum M-22-09, “Moving the U.S. Government Toward Zero Trust Cybersecurity Principles,”4 detailed specific actions for federal agencies to adopt in alignment with the pillars outlined in the ZTMM (Zero Trust Maturity Model). This memorandum sets forth a Federal ZTA strategy, requiring agencies to meet cybersecurity objectives by the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 to reinforce FCEB defense. CISA revised the ZTMM to further align with M-22-09’s direction for agencies. FCEB agencies should review this memo in parallel with developing and implementing their zero trust strategies.

On October 09, 2024, Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, announced that the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ cloud security platform has surpassed half a trillion daily transactions which is nearly 60 times greater than the total number of Google searches per day. This milestone underscores the unparalleled scalability, resilience, and trust customers have placed in the Zscaler platform, which enables organizations to secure users and applications, simplify operations, and advance their business.

3. Cybersecurity in the Clouds: Cloud Encryption and Hybrid Security Solutions.

In the last year, the uptake of cloud within the financial services sector has picked up pace with many firms opting for a hybrid approach of both on-premises and cloud environments. Banks have started moving data to the cloud and encryption software has become indispensable when it comes to meeting compliance and security requirements across the cloud environments. Some of the cloud-native encryption solutions that are available from Microsoft Azure and AWS are used to protect the data. Furthermore, hybrid encryption approaches provide organizations with the ability to control on-premise and cloud data storage, without having to sacrifice security as they change jurisdictions. This trend also holds for multi-cloud solutions because encryption software is used to regulate the protection of data in different clouds.

4. Regulatory Compliance Drives Encryption Innovation

The regulatory authorities across the globe have increased the pressure on the banks to protect the customer’s data thus offering a market for the development of new encryption software. In the United States alone, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) require data encryption to protect financial services. In the same way, in Europe, the GDPR has put in place severe penalties for data breaches and this makes encryption crucial. Due to enhanced oversight and revised requirements, vendors of encryption tools are coming up with products that offer enhanced compliance. These are automation of reports, key management, and encryption algorithms that are recommended globally. These are vital innovations that can help banks achieve compliance easily as they respond to the increasing data protection laws.

5. A study on the Readiness for Post Quantum Encryption.

As this new technology quantum computing comes into the financial industry, it is seen to have both benefits and risks. Quantum computing is said to improve data processing speed, but it is a big threat to existing encryption techniques. Software companies that supply encryption tools are already working on the future when quantum computers will break through the current encryption algorithms. In response, banks are seeking PQC to enhance their defenses against potential threats in the future. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published a few drafts to identify post-quantum encryption standards with banks working with their vendors to pilot these solutions.

On August 13, 2024, The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)released a final set of encryption tools designed to withstand the attack of a quantum computer. These post-quantum encryption standards secure a wide range of electronic information, from confidential email messages to e-commerce transactions that propel the modern economy. NIST is encouraging computer system administrators to begin transitioning to the new standards as soon as possible.

6. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Encryption

Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) are becoming part of encryption software, to improve analytical, detection, prevention, and control features. Encryption software can now use AI to learn from data usage, recognize deviations, and predict risks, allowing banks to start thinking about how to prevent and mitigate risks. Automating key management through machine learning algorithms simplifies tasks such as key rotation or key renewal and thereby minimizes the occurrence of human error. This phenomenon is due to the increasing demand for real-time and dynamic security solutions that help banks counter new threats as they emerge on the scene.

7. The Increasing Relevance of Key Management Systems (KMS)

Encryption is fundamental in banking encryption and depends on the management of keys hence the role of the Key Management Systems (KMS). KMS solutions ensure that keys used in encryption are safely stored and maintained while they are also often replaced. As more banks are now operating across both digital and physical channels, KMS has emerged as crucial to ensuring that encryption standards are met across all the channels. The improvements in KMS technology including the ability to connect with HSMs and cloud services have increased key protection and made it simple to expand the adoption of encryption.

8. Rise of Homomorphic Encryption

Homomorphic encryption is a technique that enables computation on encrypted data without the need to decrypt it first. This innovation has been received in the banking sector because it enables analysis of data while keeping data private. Banks can also use such customer data to derive insights and yet preserve confidentiality in a given data-sharing environment whether within the same organization or across organizations. While still quite nascent now, homomorphic encryption is set to transform into a key trend in the years to come since banks will need better data protection but at the same time seek valuable insights out of the data.

9. Investing More in Cybersecurity Relationships

The new trend is that more and more banks collaborate with cybersecurity companies to gain access to advanced encryption technologies and knowledge. This has been due to the developments in the threats and the need to cope with these threats while at the same time being cost-effective. By partnering with companies that have expertise in encryption software the banks can access better security solutions and gain from the collective knowledge of threats. It also allows financial institutions to work in partnership with other entities that are compliant with certain regulations and achieve a reduction in the operational risk posed to internal teams. Banks can protect sensitive information and deal with threats with the help of cooperation with trusted cybersecurity vendors.
