Cybersecurity for Financial Institutions

Securing the Backbone of the Global Economy

Financial organizations are responsible for managing services that shape the global economy. You can't deliver these services without storing sensitive financial information, a reality which persistent and evolving cyber threat actors seek to exploit. As a result, financial service providers must consistently protect customer financial information not only from external attackers, but  also malicious insiders. This includes implementing secure communication channels to safeguard sensitive data during transmission.

Data protection isn't the only cybersecurity challenge confronting financial organizations. You must navigate complex and stringent regulatory requirements while seeking to adopt new technologies. You also need to manage cybersecurity risks associated with third-party vendors, develop strategies to prevent financial fraud, and ensure availability of service in the face of security incidents. All of these efforts necessitate that financial organizations allocate resources for effective cybersecurity measures on an ongoing basis.

What Our Members Are Saying

Doing this allowed us to quickly and easily deploy industry-recommended security best practice configurations. Without this resource, the hardening of our devices would have taken a lot longer and required many meetings between IT and Security to debate which configuration settings to change and the impact they could have. The CIS Benchmarks provided the necessary information to alleviate many of the fears IT may have had with changing specific settings.
