Security for a sector where
every digital transaction matters

Financial institutions process large volumes of transactions and sensitive financial data every day, making them an attractive target for cybercriminals. A successful attack can lead directly to financial loss, fraud and disruption of financial services. The interconnected nature of the financial sector means the impact can also extend beyond a single organisation.

The security challenges in Finance

Financial services are becoming increasingly digital. Customers manage their finances online, payments are processed automatically and financial services are available 24/7. As a result, the digital attack surface continues to grow.

Financial institutions face attacks every day, and the threat landscape continues to evolve. Ransomware is on the rise, while AI makes phishing and vishing more convincing and easier to scale. At the same time, DORA, the Dutch Cybersecurity Act and supervision by DNB place high demands on digital resilience, with frameworks such as TIBER-EU and ART used to test that resilience in practice.

Do you recognise these security challenges?

As a CISO of financial services, you want to stay in control of risks that can lead to fraud, unauthorised transactions or disruption of financial services.

Protecting customer trust

Customers entrust your organisation with their financial lives. Account misuse or unauthorised access to customer records can lead to fraud, personal harm and loss of trust.

Keeping critical services available

When payments, disbursements or customer portals become unavailable, customers feel the impact immediately. You need to know whether your organisation can detect an attack in time, limit its impact and restore services.

Managing risks across the supply chain

Cloud providers, fintech partners and other service providers are part of both your financial services and your attack surface. The challenge is understanding how their access and dependencies can expose your organisation to risk.

Knowing where security investments make a difference

New applications, APIs and cloud environments continuously change what needs to be protected. You need insight into the attack paths leading to critical systems and customer data, so you can prioritise improvements based on their actual impact.

Offensive security for financial services

Our offensive security approach is tailored to the specific risks, regulatory requirements and challenges of the financial sector. Through testing aligned with frameworks such as TIBER-EU and ART, we help financial institutions assess their cyber resilience and meet relevant DORA requirements.

Security Health Check

We assess the security accross complex IT environments and critical financial processes. We look at how security is set up, interdependencies, supply chain risks and relevant digital resilience requirements.

Penetration Testing

We actively attack customer portals, apps, APIs and the underlying IT environments. We investigate which vulnerabilities could provide access to customer data or critical systems, and whether financial processes can be manipulated.

Social engineering

Using realistic phishing and telephone-based scenarios, we assess how well employees, verification procedures and technical controls work together to withstand deception and account takeover.

Red teaming

Through a controlled attack focused on agreed business objectives, we test how well your people, processes and technology work together to stop an attacker and limit the impact.

Getest in de echte wereld

We werken voor organisaties waar security niet mag falen.

targenio

targenio koppelt AI-agents aan bedrijfskritische systemen en wilde weten of het groeiende platform bestand was tegen realistische aanvallen.

Het assessment testte het platform aan de hand van realistische aanvalsscenario’s en leverde het developmentteam duidelijke, toepasbare inzichten op. De resultaten gaven targenio een beter beeld van waar securityrisico’s binnen de SDLC ontstaan en hoe het eerder aanpakken daarvan kostbare aanpassingen in een later stadium kan voorkomen.

Bingy

Bingy werkt met gevoelige welzijnsdata en had onafhankelijk bewijs nodig dat het platform veilig was om aan klanteisen te voldoen en verdere groei te ondersteunen.

Binnen twee weken werd de pentest uitgevoerd en het rapport opgeleverd, waarbij werd bevestigd dat er geen grote kwetsbaarheden waren gevonden. De resultaten gaven Binqy onafhankelijke validatie van de security en hielpen om pentesten een terugkerend onderdeel van de securitystrategie te maken. Daarmee ondersteunt het zowel het vertrouwen van klanten als de weg naar ISO 27001-certificering.

Primary point of contact

“We are seeing ransomware increase, while AI is lowering the barrier to convincing vishing and phishing attacks. In financial services, this increases both the pressure on critical systems and the risk of customers and employees being deceived.”

“The S-Unit understood from the start what we wanted to achieve, even though the path to get there wasn’t entirely clear yet. They took us along in their approach, thought ahead and switched gears quickly when needed. We could trust that it would work out, without having to keep steering. It’s a really pleasant way of working together.”

“We didn’t want to be told that we’re vulnerable. We wanted to see how far a real attacker would get. Instead of a standard report, we got insight into exactly the risks that matter most to us.”
