Multi-Signal Managed Detection and Response For Financial Services Companies

Whether your organization is a small credit union, a bank or a large financial services firm with multiple facilities, threat actors are going to capitalize on vulnerable systems and fallible human nature. Ultimately, the difference between business protection and business disruption will come down to the speed at which you can identify and contain a cyber attack.

Secure your financial services organization with Managed Detection and Response services that scale

Financial service firms are targeted by cybercriminals because of the opportunity for monetary gain and the chance to disrupt their business operations. A cyberattack can compromise systems that drive operations and expose clients’ personal financial data. This can result in millions of dollars in fines and lost revenue, an incalculable amount of damage to a financial firm’s reputation and worse, it can potentially destabilize the economy. While most financial services organizations recognize this and have strong preventative security controls in place, clever social engineering attacks resulting in one wrong click by an employee can open the door to your company’s network.

To protect your business, you need a robust cybersecurity plan and the ability to proactively detect, disrupt and remediate cyber threats.
