Trends and insights on the intersection of financial technology and cybersecurity research: A bibliometric review (2014-2024).

Abstract

The main goal of this study is to reveal the most distinctive trends in the intersection between financial technology (FinTech) and cybersecurity using bibliometric study of the Scopus database sources. The analysis revealed that the research of FinTech and information and cyber security has been growing consistently over the years, since 2014. Implications wise, this study provides researchers and practitioners with a more in depth understanding of how the components of information security and cybersecurity intersect in FinTech based on the trend of the current publications in both areas. Specifically, this study could support researchers in a better insight into and summarization of the most foundational knowledge of information and cyber security factors to FinTech developments. This bibliometric analysis is expected to offer an insight into the structural knowledge of cyber and information security integration with FinTech in the last decade, which is a crucial step in determining the future of research in this area.
