We professionally identify and eliminate cyberthreats. 

In todays’ heavily digitized world, wherever there are Internet transactions and financial funds transfers, cybercriminals always follow. At the same time, unprecedented amount of sensitive date is being processed every day as part of modern electronic banking web. 

Banking and Fintech sectors are exposed to a very high likelihood of negative scenarios, which can disrupt their operations. Financial institutions are particularly exposed to cyberincidents of various, often difficult to trace origins. This is why it’s so important to choose a reputable and established cybersecurity provider – it’s the only way to ensure full effectiveness of your cybersecurity program, prevent unwanted accidents and win the race against the criminals.

The reach and speed of absorption of technological innovation bear an enormous influence on banking and finance sectors. Staying on top of all changes depends on the set of carefully designed methods, but it’s crucial to align all innovation with current and often restrictive regulatory environment, and to do it as quickly as possible.

Change of preferences and ever evolving clients’ expectations related to seamless functionality and access to digital version of products lead to new solutions being introduced all the time. Those solutions can very quickly become catalysts of serious cyberthreats. This is the reason why all innovations within electronic banking, mobile payments, sales of financial products or sensitive data processing require fault-free and reliable safety mechanisms of the highest standards.

Many years of experience is showing that the right procedures combined with continuous development of security measures is the best security guard which allows to build the competitive edge on all stages of company’s development.
