With increasing regulatory requirements and heightened cybersecurity threats against financial institutions, organizations must achieve protection, compliance, and operational efficiency. Bitdefender’s top-ranked financial services cybersecurity solutions provide full visibility, automated threat detection, and compliance-friendly reporting to safeguard sensitive data against cyberattacks targeting financial institutions while meeting strict industry regulations.
Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are increasing cybersecurity mandates for financial institutions. Regulations such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) set clear requirements.
Financial services institutions must demonstrate operational resilience, implement strong cybersecurity controls, and maintain detailed compliance reporting. Our cybersecurity solutions meet these demands proactively. They identify and prioritize risks through intelligent vulnerability assessments that uncover non-compliant configurations across both cloud and on-prem environments, helping your organization stay ahead of threats and remain aligned with evolving compliance requirements.
With layered cloud security tailored for financial services, our solutions protect sensitive transactions.
Banks, investment firms, payment processors and other financial institutions can help prevent unauthorized access and reduce the risk of data breaches with endpoint protection, full disk encryption, and continuous risk assessments via GravityZone Risk Management.
Our solutions also align with industry frameworks to further strengthen security and compliance. Financial institutions use our compliance solutions to help them meet ISO 27001 and NIST standards. The outcomes includes, greater protection of customer data and more secure transactions to help ensure the integrity of internal records.
In the financial services sector, incident response speed is important, however, it takes organizations an average of 240 days to fully resolve an cyber incident. Detection alone in this case takes 50 days.¹ This long-term exposure can makes attacks worse, causing lasting reputational damage and lead to severe financial losses, and regulatory penalties. To reduce this risk, GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) delivers real-time, high-fidelity threat detection with minimal false positives.
With cross-endpoint correlation, automated response, and advanced threat-hunting tools, it shortens investigation time and streamlines incident resolution. Bitdefender Managed Detection and Response (MDR) further eases the burden on internal teams by providing 24x7x365 monitoring, detection, and response. This kind of rapid response to potential threats allows banks and financial institutions to act before damage occurs.
Regulations like DORA and GDPR require institutions to prove their operational resilience and maintain detailed incident response records. In 2024, 40% of financial institutions that suffered a breach faced total costs of $2 million or more, underscoring the serious financial and operational risks of cyber incidents. Swift detection and response are critical to minimizing these impacts.
Through our advanced tools we provide real-time intelligence, post-incident analysis and compliance-ready audit logs. This helps payment processors, banks and other economic institutions understand the origin of attacks, improve defenses and meet regulatory reporting requirements. Downtime is minimized and organizations enjoy automated incident response and guided remediation.
