State-sponsored cyberattacks are a growing and serious threat to financial stability, particularly as geopolitical tensions rise. The financial sector and regulators must prioritize cyber resilience and coordinated defense strategies to mitigate systemic risk.

Researchers proposed a new risk metric for evaluating security threats in Large Language Model (LLM) chatbots, considering system, user, and third-party risks. An empirical study using three chatbot models found that while prompt protection helps, it's not enough to prevent high-impact threats like misinformation and scams. Risk levels varied across industries and user age groups, highlighting the need for context-aware evaluation. The study contributes a structured risk assessment methodology to the field of AI security, offering a practical tool for improving LLM-powered chatbot safety and informing future research and regulatory frameworks.

The Cyber Due Diligence Object Model (CDDOM) is a structured, extensible framework designed for SMEs to manage cybersecurity due diligence in digital supply chains. Aligned with regulations like NIS2, DORA, CRA, and GDPR, CDDOM enables continuous, automated, and traceable due diligence. It integrates descriptive schemas, role-specific messaging, and decision support to facilitate supplier onboarding, risk reassessment, and regulatory compliance. Validated in real-world scenarios, CDDOM supports automation, transparency, and interoperability, translating compliance and trust signals into machine-readable formats. It fosters resilient, decision-oriented cyber governance, addressing modern cybersecurity challenges outlined in recent research.

This study extends the Gordon–Loeb model for cybersecurity investment by incorporating a Hawkes process to model temporally clustered cyberattacks, reflecting real-world attack bursts. Formulated as a stochastic optimal control problem, it maximizes net benefits through adaptive investment policies that respond to attack arrivals. Numerical results show these dynamic strategies outperform static and Poisson-based models, which overlook clustering, especially in high-risk scenarios. The framework aids risk managers in tailoring responsive cybersecurity strategies. Future work includes empirical calibration, risk-averse loss modeling, cyber-insurance integration, and multivariate Hawkes processes for diverse attack types.

The EU prioritizes cybersecurity and data protection due to rising cyber threats and digital transformation. It employs regulations like GDPR for personal data and the NIS Directive for critical infrastructure resilience. This study analyzes their impact, challenges, and interplay, also comparing them globally to assess effectiveness in safeguarding digital security and fostering trust.

Increased cyber risk drives U.S. banks to diversify information sources, especially large, nationally chartered banks. This suggests cyber threats erode data confidence, forcing banks to seek verification. Specialized institutions are more vulnerable to data integrity disruptions.

This study integrates cybersecurity risks into a neoclassical growth model, revealing that proactive investments enhance long-term stability, while industry-specific vulnerabilities (capital-intensive resilience vs. labor-intensive disruptions) and systemic risks affect macroeconomic resilience. Optimal resource allocation, adaptive risk strategies via Bayesian updating, and prioritizing cybersecurity in long-term planning balance security with growth.

This study analyzes financial risk management in digital-only banking using quantitative methods. Phishing (35%) and ransomware (20%) cause major financial losses. Basel III compliance reduces fraud risks, while AI-driven fraud monitoring has inefficiencies. Regulatory enforcement improves fraud prevention by 1.90%, highlighting the need for stronger cybersecurity and regulatory measures.

Learning from industry cybersecurity breaches boosts firm growth and performance. Firms adapt CEO pay to manage risk and invest in sales, seizing opportunities. This shows learning from rivals' misfortune is valuable, highlighting the strategic importance of competitor learning.

Despite tech advances, human errors fuel cybersecurity breaches, with 2023 data breach costs averaging $9.48 million. Ineffective education and policies fail to curb threats. This paper, citing executive interviews and research, urges balanced communication to warn users and boost their cybersecurity confidence without causing excessive fear.
