## CORIT TECH 2026 Financial Services IT Risk Report

### What’s Driving Risk in 2026

Rising cybercrime, tightening regulatory scrutiny, and growing client expectations are fundamentally reshaping how financial services firms must approach IT.

Inside the report, we examine:

- **The most critical IT risks facing financial services firms in 2026**, including:
  
    - Exposure of sensitive financial and client data
    - AI-driven phishing, impersonation, and fraud attempts
    - Legacy systems and unpatched infrastructure
    - Inadequate backup, recovery, and ransomware preparedness
    - Security gaps created by remote and hybrid work environments
- **Why traditional break-fix IT models increase compliance and operational risk**
- **What a compliance-first Managed IT strategy looks like in practice**, including:
  
    - Security-by-design infrastructure
    - Proactive monitoring, governance, and risk controls
    - Data protection aligned with financial regulatory obligations
- **How firms can protect client trust, reduce regulatory exposure, and build long-term operational resilience**

### Why This Matters

In financial services, **trust is your currency**.  
IT failures are no longer technical inconveniences: they are **business-threatening events** that can lead to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and client attrition.

A compliance-first IT approach is no longer a “nice to have”  it’s a core business requirement.
