‍ The average cost of a data breach for enterprises in 2024 was $4.88 million, marking a 10% increase from 2023. While various factors have caused the surge, one of the reasons is also vulnerable messaging apps.

The digital world is at a crossroads. Cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than ever. Consumer expectations around privacy are skyrocketing. And governments are introducing stricter and stricter data sovereignty laws. Furthermore, for a fourth year out of five, cybersecurity tops the list of risk management professionals’ concerns, according to the 2025 Allianz Risk Barometer.

Compliance in financial services is not a choice – it is a commitment. Every trade, every client call, and every internal chat has to be done by the book, especially in terms of documentation and communication. Under FINRA regulations, making sure all communications across teams are compliant means making sure each message sent on team messaging platforms-even those innocent-when-sent-in-a-hurry chats-is just as compliant.
