THREATQ FOR:
The Financial Services Industry
Key Financial Services Challenges
INCREASE IN ATTACK SURFACES WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
Customers expect 24/7 availability of services from any device, anywhere. Threat actors disrupt the flow of business with Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. These campaigns are relatively easy to execute using third-party tools and services and are among the costliest attack type for firms to address. Increasingly, threat actors also target the social and mobile networks firms use to engage and support customers and run business operations.
ATTRACTIVE TARGET FOR FINANCIALLY MOTIVATED ACTORS
Cybercriminals target financial institutions because that’s where the money is and there are many ways to profit. They are actively exploiting vulnerabilities in ATMs, while networks like SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) provide a means for criminal groups to steal directly from banks or surreptitiously shift money stolen from other sources.

THE DATASHEET
ThreatQ Brings Order to the Financial Services Industry
CONSOLIDATE
all sources of external (e.g., FS-ISAC) and internal (e.g., SIEM) threat intelligence and vulnerability data in a central repository.
ELIMINATE
noise and easily navigate through vast amounts of threat data to focus on critical assets and vulnerabilities .
PRIORITIZE
what matters most for your environment.
INTEGRATE
only relevant indicators into your security policies.
PROACTIVELY HUNT
for malicious activity which may signal bank account data compromise, payment card fraud, DDoS attacks and other harm to consumers and merchants.
FOCUS
on known security vulnerabilities in currently active exploits which may impact regulatory status and security posture.
ACCELERATE ANALYSIS
and response to attacks against multiple targets including ATM systems, SWIFT network, web applications, new digital channels and supporting infrastructure.
AUTOMATICALLY
push threat intelligence to detection and response tools.
“We now have IOC data from trusted sources being sent proactively to detection-only watch lists in various internal security controls without daily oversight required by the team’s personnel. What’s more, because we’re selectively exporting data to the tool specifically designed to consume it, we aren’t pushing massive amounts of data across the network and slowing things down.”
