- UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti said cyber threats now rival traditional credit and market risks.
- Governance, accountability and rapid response are becoming central safeguards as banking technology becomes more digital.
- The warning adds a new risk-management angle to the bank's recent earnings and capital-return focus.
UBS Group CEO Sergio Ermotti placed cyber risk alongside traditional banking exposures at a Hong Kong financial summit on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The warning adds a new risk-management angle for investors following the bank's recent third-quarter earnings and capital-return update.
Cyber threats challenge bank controls
Bloomberg reported that Ermotti described protection against cyber attacks as at least as important as managing credit and market risks. He said the threats are increasing exponentially as financial firms accelerate innovation and digitalization.
For UBS, the focus shifts beyond capital strength and operating execution to the resilience of systems, controls and decision-making. Ermotti identified good governance, clear accountability and the ability to react quickly as key requirements for managing the threat.
