Financial System

Fraud-aware, regulator-ready cybersecurity for banks, payment processors, and the financial infrastructure that has to stay available under attack.

Financial institutions face a dual mandate that few other sectors carry: defend against highly capitalized, fast-moving fraud and cybercrime operations, while satisfying regulators who treat security failures as a systemic risk, not just a company problem. The sector consistently ranks among the most targeted by both financially motivated criminals and, increasingly, state-linked actors probing for economic disruption. Cyberpert builds programs that treat fraud prevention, resilience, and regulatory evidence as one connected discipline rather than three separate workstreams.

What makes this sector different
  • Highly capitalized cybercrime operations running phishing, business email compromise, and account takeover at scale
  • Real-time payment systems where a few minutes of fraud exposure can translate directly into loss
  • Regulatory regimes (DORA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, regional banking authorities) that demand continuous evidence, not annual snapshots
  • Legacy core banking systems that must be defended without disrupting transaction availability
  • Third-party and fintech integrations that expand the attack surface faster than vendor risk programs can track
How Cyberpert supports this sector

Fraud-aware threat monitoring

Detection tuned to account takeover, payment fraud, and business email compromise patterns specific to financial flows.

Regulatory evidence and audit readiness

Continuous control evidence mapped to DORA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 rather than point-in-time audit scrambles.

Incident response with regulator notification support

Response playbooks that integrate the notification timelines regulators now require.

Core banking and payment infrastructure hardening

Security architecture review for transaction systems that cannot tolerate downtime.

Third-party and fintech integration risk review

Vendor and API risk assessment for the partner integrations modern financial products depend on.

Executive and board cyber-risk briefings

Risk reporting translated for audit committees and boards who own ultimate accountability.

Frameworks and authorities we build against
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) PCI DSS SOC 2 Type II ISO/IEC 27001 Regional banking-authority cybersecurity guidelines
