Financial Industry

Security Beyond Compliance Needs

As technology becomes increasingly prevalent, the financial industry has experienced a corresponding increase in cyberattacks. Financial institutions of all sizes, including banks, credit unions, insurance companies, and new business models, are common targets for attackers. The consequences of a security breach can be severe for financial institutions, including compliance fines, reputation damage, and shareholder concern.

Additionally, many financial institutions have a traditional culture that may not prioritize IT security, leaving them vulnerable to attack. At Qualysec, our dedicated security consultants have extensive experience working with major financial firms and specialize in helping businesses recover from attacks and meet compliance standards

Financial Compliance Requirements

  • Compliance is a critical aspect of financial services, including information security.
  • Financial institutions are required to comply with Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) security requirements, and may also be subject to PCI-DSS and SOX.
  • In addition, many financial firms choose to adopt ISO 27001 as a way to demonstrate proper controls to customers and investors.
  • Adhering to these standards is essential for maintaining the trust and confidence of stakeholders in the financial industry.

Challenges and Threats

  • The financial industry faces a variety of security challenges due to its large, sensitive databases and applications.
  • External threats are not the only concern for IT professionals in this sector.
  • Legacy banking applications, poor development practices, and network complexities can all create vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
  • Even the largest financial firms are not immune to these issues, as demonstrated by breaches at JPMorgan and Citi.

Potential Impacts:

  • Service Downtime/Operational Losses
  • Compliance and PCI Fines
  • Reputation Impacts
  • Negative Press/Public Relations
  • Breach Lawsuits/Legal Fees
  • Loss of Customer Trust
  • Loss of Sensitive Data
  • Financial Losses
  • Decreased Productivity
  • Brand Damage
  • Compliance Violations
  • Loss of Business Opportunities
