Cyber incidents in financial services more than doubled in a single year, from 864 in 2024 to 1,858 in 2025. Most institutions respond by scanning more, auditing more, and reporting more often. The real problem isn’t visibility. It’s knowing which exposures actually matter, and closing them before an AI-driven attacker does.

This point of view explains why the gap between finding vulnerabilities and stopping attacks has widened, what changed when AI entered the picture, and what NuSummit recommends financial services leaders build in response.

With this point of view, you’ll:

• Understand why AI has compressed the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation from weeks to about three hours.
• See why CVSS-based prioritization leaves the exposures that matter most competing for attention with the ones that don’t.
• Learn what inaction actually costs, in regulatory exposure, operational disruption, and remediation capacity spent on the wrong risks.
• Get NuSummit’s recommended shift, ranking exposures by real-world exploitability, building remediation workflows that move in hours, and giving leadership a current view instead of a quarterly one.
• Learn how the Mythos Readiness Assessment gives your organization a free, 30-minute, evidence-based picture of where your program stands today.

Read the point of view to see how financial services leaders can move from reactive patching to a program built for the pace AI-driven attackers now operate on.
