Overview
You’re the #1 Target for Threat Actors
As the backbone of modern economics, the financial services industry is the prime target for cyber threats.
Safeguard your institution, customers, and the global economy and ensure the security and integrity of financial systems by partnering with experts in cybersecurity for financial services and the financial industry.
Cyberthreats to Financial Industry
Financial Fraud
Blend cybersecurity operations with your financial fraud teams to maximize your cybersecurity investments and better detect and investigate fraud across platforms.
Customer Security
Protect your customer’s data from phishing attacks and cyber threats. You’ll prevent future fraud and create a more trustworthy customer experience.
Third-Party Risks
Mitigate the risk of weak links in your security chain by assessing the cybersecurity practices of third-party vendors and the sensitive data to which they have access.
Organized crime accounts for nearly 80% of all attacks in the financial services sector.
Cybersecurity in Financial Sector
Take a proactive approach to financial sector risk mitigation.
Detect and respond to threats in real time.
Cyberthreats evolve fast and use bleeding-edge technologies to infiltrate the financial sector. To manage these emerging threats and changing regulatory requirements, you must:
- Implement robust authentication, encryption, and MFA
- Invest in artificial intelligence and machine learning
- Conduct audits, testing, and incident response drills
- Collaborate with industry stakeholders
Prepare for upcoming regional financial services cybersecurity regulations.
Industry Regulations
New and Evolving Regional Regulations Impact Everyone
Even regulations outside your region could impact your cybersecurity practice.
We’ll analyze the existing policies and regulatory landscape to identify any gaps. Then, we’ll tweak your policies to align with new regulations from FINRA and EBA.
GDPR
Collect and process customer data, manage consent and opt-in requirements, and address cross-border data transfers with GDPR-compliant cybersecurity policies.
DORA
Improve operational resiliency in the financial services sector when you align to DORA, new legislation for direct service providers to financial institutions.
TIBER-EU
Test and improve the cyber-resilience of your organization with the TIBER-EU framework — a simplified, single framework for threat intelligence-based ethical red-teaming.
DORA
Adhere to the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)
Designed to improve the cybersecurity of the financial services sector.
DORA defines critical thresholds for direct service providers to the financial sector, and organizations covered by DORA must implement specific processes — or risk severe fines and reputational damage.
Risk Management and Governance
DORA lays out frameworks and guidelines for risk management in the financial sector. These guidelines help organizations build more mature risk management programs and improve operational resiliency.
Resiliency Testing
DORA suggests that covered organizations implement resiliency testing programs based on their risk assessments. This helps to identify and correct any issues before they pose a threat to operations.
Intelligence Sharing
Many cyberattacks target multiple organizations at once. By encouraging the sharing of threat intelligence, DORA helps the entire financial services industry build awareness and prepare to face ongoing cyber threats.
Supply Chain Management
DORA imposes requirements on financial institutions’ contractual relationships with their suppliers while developing strategies for managing supply chain risks, including the potential for ending supplier relationships.
Incident Reporting
By requiring faster reporting, DORA encourages rapid incident investigation and response, which helps to mitigate the impact of a breach. Breach reports can be used to help detect unknown intrusions in other networks.
Audit Access
The DORA regulation enables regulators (and financial institutions in the case of suppliers) to perform audits of the supply chain in the financial industry, driving compliance — and requiring you to create reports on-demand.
Retrospective Analysis
DORA encourages studying and revising policies based on internal and external incidents, building shared learning, and protecting multiple organizations from falling victim to the same types of attacks.
