Abstract

Ensuring the cybersecurity management is an ever-increasing challenge for the financial institutions and the national financial regulators. The main purpose of the research is to improve cybersecurity management through analyzing large data volumes of information which helps to identify potential cyber threats at an early stage. The factors of the rapid cybercrime growth via supervised learning models with associated learning (SVM) were identified and evaluated in the paper. The object of research is 21 EU countries. The paper presents the results of an empirical analysis, which showed that the cyber threats are caused by the growth of using online banking (0.49), improvement of internet user skills (0.42), expansion of activities online (0.41). The results of the research can be useful for financial institutions, national regulators and cybersecurity professionals.
