Financial Services Current Threat Landscape
Financial institutions face a multitude of sophisticated cyber threats, including:
Cybercriminals use ransomware to lock critical systems, demanding hefty ransoms for release.
Unauthorized access and identity theft are on the rise, compromising sensitive financial data.
Malicious insiders or compromised employees pose significant risks from within the organization.
Custom Malware
Specialized malware targeting financial systems to steal data and disrupt operations.
Traditional Security Solutions Fall Short for Financial Services
Prevention
Regulations have associated policies that serve as a prevention-based defense mechanism. While necessary, adversaries are bypassing these controls by leveraging legitimate credentials.
Detection
Financial services have relied heavily on traditional detection tools. However, much of the equipment used in this sector has unique, bespoke characteristics that are often incompatible with standard Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions
Infrastructure
Financial services infrastructure includes essential systems like ATMs, POS, and SWIFT for transactions and payments. It also encompasses treasury management for corporate services, core banking for transaction processing, and retail banking for consumer services.
Proprietary Protocols
Financial services environments utilize proprietary protocols like ISO 8583, ISO 20022, and FIX, which are unique to the industry. Traditional security solutions often lack awareness and support for these specialized protocols.
Vulnerability Exploits
Adversaries perform vulnerability exploits and leverage credentials to gain unauthorized access to assets in financial services. The lack of EDR and detection tooling makes these assets particularly vulnerable to exploits.
