IT Security for Finance

With millions of dollars passing through their systems every day, financial firms are extremely attractive targets for cybercriminals. More than simply trying to defraud cash, organised gangs are increasingly interested in the personal data, proprietary algorithms and intellectual property that can be exfiltrated from your network.

New developments in financial services have been achieved through a revolution in the corporate data centre. But as new systems are added the network fragments, creating new attack surfaces for hackers to target.
