Cybersecurity and operational resilience are becoming critical priorities for banks across Europe as regulatory pressure, emerging technologies, and evolving cyber threats reshape the financial sector.

The European Banking Cybersecurity Report 2026: Trends, Risks & Outlook explores how banks are adapting to new regulatory frameworks such as DORA, rising third-party supply chain risks, and the growing impact of AI-driven cyber threats.

Key insights from the report include:

• 96% of European banks have experienced a breach involving a third-party partner, highlighting growing supply chain risk.
• AI-powered attacks and deepfake fraud are increasing rapidly across the financial sector.
• 61% of banks lack a post-quantum cryptography roadmap, exposing future cryptographic risks.
• Cloud sovereignty, open banking APIs, and Banking-as-a-Service are expanding the sector’s digital attack surface.

As operational resilience becomes both a strategic priority and a regulatory requirement, financial institutions must rethink how they secure infrastructure, manage third-party risk, and prepare for emerging threats.
