PROTECTING CUSTOMERS AND DATA IN A
HYPERCONNECTED WORLD

Consumers expect more from online banking services, seeking convenience in tasks like opening accounts, payments, transfers, and loan applications.

Yet, digital banking’s accessibility also brings heightened cybersecurity risks. Your bank must not only provide delightful digital experiences but also ensure customer data security while complying with GDPR, PCI DSS, KYC, and AML, combat phishing attacks that expose data, compromise credentials, and erode brand trust, prevent service all while preparing for the looming advent of post-quantum computing.

To address this increased risk, many cybersecurity leaders in forward-thinking banks turn to digital trust as a way to improve security posture, reduce IT complexity, and increase crypto-agility.

Mitigating Risk

Increasingly sophisticated attacks put your sensitive customer and company data at risk. When data falls into the wrong hands, companies lose money - and customers
lose trust.

Problem

In today's hyperconnected world, service outages and data breaches threaten businesses. Economic impact is just one concern—47% of consumers sever ties with companies that lose their trust (2022 DigiCert survey). Unforeseen digital certificate expirations lead to costly downtime and heightened vulnerability to exploitations. BCG states financial institutions must prioritize security as they're 300 times more susceptible to cyberattacks.

Problem

Bad actors wield tools like generative AI to launch increasingly convincing bank impersonation attacks in an ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. They employ sophisticated phishing, email, or phone schemes to lure unsuspecting customers and employees into interactions that jeopardize compromising identities or accounts. According to Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report, over 85% of web application breaches stem from stolen credentials.

How your bank can advance its culture of security with digital trust

Solution

You can employ mechanisms to reduce breaches caused by stolen personal data or credentials. To safeguard against phishing, adopt email security controls like verified mark certificates (VMCs) to embed a verified corporate logo, distinguishing credible emails from phishing attempts. Further protect credentials by using certificate-mediated authentication instead of passwords, strengthening security against data breaches caused by credential theft.

Transaction-level measures play a vital role in fostering your organization's culture of culture. Stand out from competitors by effectively empowering customers to identify and thwart phishing attempts. Strengthen internal authentication methods to ensure the utmost security of sensitive customer data. Such efforts will solidify your reputation as a highly trusted and secure bank within the industry.

Problem

The emergence of quantum computers poses a serious threat to current encryption methods. Quantum computers will be able to decrypt a vast majority of current encryption, meaning critical data can easily fall into the wrong hands. Although quantum computing is still on the horizon, it will take banks time to build crypto-agility into their cybersecurity infrastructure.
