Secure Authentication for Finance Applications
Finance Applications: All-in-One Security Key for Digital and Physical Access
Cyber attacks are increasingly targeting the global financial sector. 64% of financial institutions reported being affected by cyber security incidents in the last 12 months. These cyberattacks can have serious consequences, including significant financial losses and the curtailment of economic activity in one or more countries. To protect financial stability, private financial data, and critical infrastructure, the financial sector must adopt stringent security measures and increase its resilience. It must comply with global regulations such as the Cyber security Regulation (23 NYCRR 500), Third-Party Risk Management Guidance (USA), PSD2 SCA, FIDA, NIS2, DORA or KRITIS (EU & Germany)
