Banks & FinTech
IT security for the finance sector is our core competency. For many years now, the finance industry has been one of the most attractive targets for professional hacker groups, cybercriminals, and hacktivists. At the same time, the advancing digitalization trend has exponentially increased vulnerability to virtual attacks. These circumstances significantly jeopardize the security and reliability of digital processes throughout the entire finance sector – from FinTech start-ups, right up to major banks.

IT security in the finance sector




02
Observing strict rules
Especially in the financial industry, the regulatory requirements for digital systems and processes are immense. Securing banking IT in compliance with the requirements of the German Banking Act (KWG), MaRisk, BAIT and soon also DORA requires the highest level of expertise and reliable technology. In addition, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the IT Security Act (IT-SiG) must be respected. Institutions that exceed certain transaction thresholds are classified as critical infrastructures (KRITIS), which are subject to even stricter IT security requirements. They must regularly demonstrate that they are using all available cybersecurity options to protect their systems to adequately ensure the integrity, availability, authenticity and confidentiality of the data.
