IMPROVING VISIBILITY
Driven By Digital Transformation
To remain competitive and provide an optimal customer experience, financial services firms must innovate — and innovation means embracing the digital transformation needed to overcome legacy technical debt. Complying with regulatory requirements only adds to the challenge.
Amid all these challenges, protecting the data you collect remains critical.
With the average cost of a breach totaling $5.86 million per breach globally, financial services organizations must protect against DDoS attacks, ransomware, SQL injection attacks in their environment and more.
Working with a managed extended detection and response (MXDR) service provider offers the ability to provide the visibility and security you need to drive the innovation that allows you to remain competitive.
SECURITY IN FINANCIAL SERVICES
Digital Transformation that Enables Security and Compliance
While Ontinue ION is an MXDR built for Microsoft customers, we can also monitor AWS and Google Cloud, so you’ll get the data visibility you need to protect your firm. Along with leveraging our expertise with Azure, Defender for Cloud, and ZTNA, our knowledge of Defender for DevOps helps secure the development lifecycle as you manage these challenges and more.
Compliance and Regulatory Requirements
Financial services firms are data firms, and they must ensure data is safeguarded. With so many sometimes-conflicting regulatory requirements that must be followed, keeping up with them is a challenge, especially when operating in multiple jurisdictions.
Management of Legacy Debt
Organizations with outdated systems can’t always apply the necessary security controls. But they still need to harden and improve their monitoring. There’s also the inventory challenge of knowing what’s there, having visibility into vulnerabilities, and visibility into how attacks are occurring, and implementing preventive controls.
Digital Transformation
With digital transformation comes a move into the cloud, ideally by working with a cloud-native service provider. Your team needs to be able to manage and monitor identities and secure APIs. You need an MXDR partner who can do it all — helping with your cloud strategy and beyond — and who has the expertise to make it successful.
Resilience of Customer-facing Services
Financial firms must deliver resilient customer-facing services to avoid outages that impact customers. Customers need to be able to access their accounts, make mortgage and credit card payments and more.
