Financial services face significant risks from cybercriminals due to insecure cloud and DevOps practices, leading to data theft, financial losses, and reputational damage. Download our whitepaper to discover effective strategies for securing your ecosystem, from identification and protection to response and recovery, ensuring a secure-by-design approach.
“A secure and strong ecosystem empowers banks and wealth management companies to channel their energy into creating amazing new products and experiences, rather than losing sleep over cyber threats. Start early with proactive cybersecurity steps that let them sniff out and tackle potential threats before they blow up into disastrous breaches. From securing cloud and DevOps environments to implementing zero-trust architecture, robust application security, and proactive threat detection with AI—it’s about building resilience from the ground up.”

Navigate insider threats amid extensive accessibility
From banks to wealth management firms, every corner of the financial world faces substantial risks, with insider threats emerging as a top concern. Attack surfaces vary across institutions, with banks exposed through ATMs, digital interfaces, and payment gateways, while wealth management firms contend with risks in portfolio management, trading systems, and advisor workstations. Unsecured cloud adoption and DevOps practices expose these attack surfaces, significantly increasing the vulnerability of financial institutions to cyber threats amidst stringent compliance and data privacy requirements.
Ensure cyber-resilience in cloud and DevOps environments
To combat cyber threats, strengthen cloud and DevOps setups. Employ robust data loss prevention measures, adopt a zero-trust security approach for encryption, and fortify IT infrastructure with secure configurations and updates. Monitor for policy violations in real-time, fortify applications through testing and secure APIs, and implement comprehensive security measures including encryption and automated responses. Integrate security throughout the software development lifecycle with DevSecOps and AIOps practices for automated testing and early vulnerability detection.
A snapshot of our comprehensive cybersecurity strategy for financial institutions
“While our current cybersecurity strategy for financial institutions is robust and resilient, the emergence of generative AI offers progressively innovative methods to secure financial systems and uphold consumer trust. In this era of cloud computing and DevOps, where agility and security are imperative, employing advanced algorithms and deep learning techniques, generative AI facilitates proactive threat detection and adaptive defense strategies. We embrace the potential of generative AI, leveraging our expertise to explore and implement solutions that will support our fight against sophisticated cybercrimes and shape the future of financial cybersecurity.”
