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.
01
IT security in the finance sector
02
Observing strict rules
There are many regulations that apply to IT system security, including the BaFin regulations, as well as BAIT, GDPR, PCI-DSS, PSD2 and C5. They define the technical requirements that banks and financial services providers must fulfill for their systems and which processes are to be conducted for risk management and continuous auditing. In particular, the significant outsourcing in accordance with MaRisk AT 9 represents a major hurdle for the use of external service providers. Financial institutions that serve over 500,000 citizens are among the critical infrastructures (KRITIS) to which even higher standards of IT security apply. On a regular basis, they must be able to evidence that they are using all available cybersecurity options to protect their systems.
