The Cybersecurity of Europe’s Top 100 Financial Institutions 2025
SecurityScorecard has released its second Europe Financial Cybersecurity Report in two years, revealing that nearly every major financial institution across Europe has been impacted by third-party and fourth-party cyber breaches in the past year.
Key Findings:
96% of Europe’s top 100 financial institutions experienced at least one third-party breach in the past year, a dramatic rise from 78% in the previous report.
97% had a breached entity within their fourth-party ecosystem, up from 84%.
7% suffered a direct breach, down from 8%, with malware and insider threats remaining key culprits.
94% of institutions with an “A” cybersecurity rating had no known breaches.
13% of firms were rated “C” or lower, an improvement from 18%, and outperforming the European sector average of 31%.
The UK reported the highest number of third-party breaches, followed by Germany and Switzerland, while Malta, Luxembourg, and Portugal had the lowest exposure and highest average cybersecurity grades.
The companies were ranked based on various factors, such as network security, potential malware infections, and patching.

Securing the Supply Chain: Building Cyber Resilience in the Modern Era
Traditional third-party risk management (TPRM) programs lack the continuous visibility and actionability required in today’s dynamic cyber threat environment. They also rarely address what happens should an incident along the supply chain threaten business continuity.
This guide introduces Supply Chain Detection and Response (SCDR) as a critical augmentation to TPRM. SCDR operationalizes supply chain cybersecurity through proactive detection, continuous AI-powered monitoring, and collaborative remediation. It offers a practical path to true organizational resilience against escalating supply chain risks, moving beyond mere compliance.
This ebook will show you how to:
Understand SCDR principles and their advantages over traditional TPRM.
Implement a 10-step process for building robust SCDR capabilities.
Map dependencies, tier critical vendors, and develop tailored incident plans.
Achieve continuous visibility to proactively reduce third-party risks.
Enhance overall supply chain cyber resilience and ensure business continuity.

“SecurityScorecard has helped us focus on what really matters—both to our organization and our vendor ecosystem. It’s allowed for more targeted engagements with vendors instead of broad, ineffective outreach. Now, I can sleep better knowing we are engaging with the right vendors for the right reasons.”

“SecurityScorecard has absolutely helped us mature our third-party risk management program. We now get some level of cyber insight for 100% of the third parties that come through our risk management process, regardless of whether we’re doing continuous monitoring or sending a survey.”
Case Studies
New York Life
“We brought in SecurityScorecard as part of the conversation and talked through some of the potential root causes, and there were about three or four that they had to work through. Ultimately, the score was cleaned up, and it just promoted a pretty transparent dialogue with the prospective third party.”
