What is a security banking or finance solution?
Since COVID-19, the banking and finance sectors have offered an increasing level of services online, and banking security has never been more crucial. Ransomware attacks, the rise of contactless payments, mobile malware attacks, and even data breaches of significant banking and finance apps are some of the dangers for which applicants in this category should offer security solutions.
The solution should provide a comprehensive set of security features to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of financial data and transactions. Security banking or finance solutions typically include features such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, anti-malware and anti-virus software, data encryption, and access control mechanisms.
These solutions are also designed to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as PCI DSS, SOX, and GLBA, and to protect against financial crimes like fraud, money laundering, and identity theft.
