Cyber Risk & Security Platform

Finance

Protect the systems, data, people and third parties that financial services depend on.

Financial services operate in a highly connected digital environment. Customer-facing platforms, payment systems, cloud services, employee endpoints, APIs, remote access, outsourced technology and specialist providers can all form part of the same operational chain.

That creates a cyber security challenge that is not limited to protecting devices. Financial organisations need to understand external exposure, monitor important third parties, protect users and endpoints, detect suspicious activity and keep vulnerabilities under control – while supporting operational resilience.

ConnectProtect brings cyber risk visibility and managed security together, helping finance organisations see what is exposed, understand third-party risk, protect endpoints, investigate security activity and prioritise the vulnerabilities that need attention.

Your financial services environment
is bigger than your network

Cyber risk can exist across the technology and organisations that support your services, including:

  • Corporate IT and employee endpoints
  • Online banking, trading, payment and customer-facing platforms
  • Cloud applications, SaaS and hosted infrastructure
  • Internet-facing domains, applications, APIs and services
  • Remote access and privileged administration
  • Fintech, software, data and technology providers
  • Outsourcers, MSPs and other critical suppliers
  • Software, configuration and infrastructure vulnerabilities
  • Identity, authentication and access systems
  • Legacy and business-critical technology

Know how you're exposed

The finance cyber security challenges we help you address

For financial services, cyber security and operational resilience are closely connected. A security incident can affect customer access, transactions, regulated services, sensitive data and the wider organisations that depend on you.

Strengthen resilience around important services.

Security controls need to support the availability and integrity of the systems behind important business services. ConnectProtect adds visibility and managed security around the wider technology environment, helping internal teams identify issues earlier and focus attention where it matters.

Choose the right product

Know what is visible
from the internet

Digital services change quickly. New domains, cloud services, APIs, infrastructure and remote-access points can appear over time, creating exposure that may not be obvious from inside your organisation.

ConnectProtect® Horizon

Horizon provides Managed External Attack Surface Management (EASM), giving your organisation an outside-in view of what is visible from the internet.

  • Identify externally visible assets
  • Track changes to the external attack surface
  • Surface potential security issues
  • Prioritise findings for investigation
  • Understand what an external observer can see

Third parties are part of your cyber risk

Banks, lenders, insurers, investment firms, payments businesses and fintechs can depend on cloud, software, data, payments, identity and outsourced service providers. Those relationships can create operational and cyber dependencies that need ongoing visibility.

ConnectProtect® Realm

Realm provides continuous third-party cyber risk monitoring for selected suppliers and thirdparties, helping maintain visibility between formal reviews.

  • Monitor selected critical suppliers
  • Identify changes in external security posture
  • Prioritise third parties that need attention
  • Support supplier and procurement conversations
  • Add ongoing visibility between periodic assessments
  • Focus monitoring on dependencies that matter most

Protect the people and endpoints inside the business

Financial organisations can have distributed workforces, privileged users, customer-support teams, analysts, developers and administrators accessing sensitive systems from different locations. Endpoint protection therefore needs to be backed by monitoring and investigation.

ConnectProtect® Core

Core is a combination of security technology and people watching for threats – without your charity having to build its own security operations centre.

Core is managed endpoint security with:

  • Antivirus
  • EDR
  • anti-ransomware protection
  • 24x7x365 human SOC monitoring

Identify vulnerabilities, prioritise them and track progress.

Get more from the security technology you already have

Finance organisations often already have multiple security technologies. The challenge can be connecting the signals they generate and determining which activity requires attention.

ConnectProtect® Unity

Unity is Managed Detection and Response (MDR) that connects supported security
technologies and adds 24x7x365 managed monitoring, investigation and response.

Where supported, Unity can work with technology already in place rather than forcing unnecessary replacement.
Your people focus on the cause. Security specialists help watch the signals.

Cyber security that supports operational resilience

UK financial firms in scope of the FCA’s operational resilience rules were required by 31 March 2025 to be able to remain within impact tolerances for important business services. The FCA also highlights the need to understand dependencies such as third parties. For EU financial entities in scope, DORA sets requirements covering ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing and ICT third-party risk.

ConnectProtect does not replace your governance, compliance programme or regulatory responsibilities. It provides practical cyber risk visibility and managed security capabilities that can support the technical and operational controls around them.

Read the FCA operational resilience guidance and the EBA overview of DORA.
