How we count

This counts vulnerabilities that (a) defend.network has editorially tagged as relevant to the Finance sector in our vulnerability reports, and (b) CISA has confirmed exploited in the wild (in the KEV catalog). The sector tag reflects our editorial judgment about relevance, not a claim of exclusive impact — most vulnerabilities affect multiple sectors. Product names come from NVD/CISA (authoritative). Rows our reconciliation gate flags as mis-attributed are excluded. “Ransomware” uses CISA’s knownRansomwareUse flag. As of 2026-08-31.
