Insight
The IT Landscape for Financial Firms in 2025
Cloud and Disaster Recovery is still seeing significant investment in 2025, to enhance flexibility, scalability, and business continuity. Hybrid and fully cloud-based infrastructures have become the norm, supported by automated backups and rapid recovery capabilities to minimize downtime during disruptions. This adoption ensures institutions can maintain operations seamlessly while managing increasing amounts of data and applications efficiently.
Cybersecurity remains a critical focus as approximately 60% of corporate data now resides in the cloud. To combat rising cyber threats, financial institutions are turning to AI-powered tools for real-time threat detection and response, alongside zero-trust architectures for continuous verification of users and devices. These advanced measures, combined with stricter regulatory compliance, are helping organizations safeguard sensitive data in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
