Cyber Security for Financial Institutions
Secure your financial institution and build customer trust with Check Point Infinity Platform.
The Financial Sector is Seizing New Opportunities, But They Present New Risks
From banks to insurance companies, financial services institutions are introducing innovative services that add value and build customer loyalty, but they’re battling an increase in sophisticated cyber attacks and fraud.
Industry-Wide Modernization
Financial technology is transforming the financial sector with innovations like embedded banking, API banking, e-banking, and blockchain, offering new conveniences but also expanding the attack surface. To stay secure, financial institutions need a multi-layered security approach that protects networks, applications, workloads, multi-cloud assets, and more.
A Favorite Target Sector for Cyber Attacks
From phishing scams to denial-of-service attacks to fraud carried out by nation-state actors, financial institutions remain a favorite target for cyber crime. An integrated security platform is essential for enabling real-time threat prevention, closing security gaps, and providing visibility across all security environments, including on-prem and cloud resources.
