The enterprises working in the European banking sector are increasingly implementing advanced cybersecurity solutions, which is a major factor augmenting Europe’s cybersecurity market size. Numerous private corporate and government entities have witnessed growing instances of cyberattacks, which has prompted both these sectors to work together to eliminate such vulnerabilities.
