Cybersecurity built for financial institutions
Financial institutions face sophisticated identity-based attacks, expanding attack surfaces from omnichannel strategies, and growing regulatory requirements. A platform approach addresses all three without adding operational complexity.
Request information 7 reasons FIs choose Palo Alto NetworksTop concerns for financial institutions
Attackers target identities, credentials, and expanded digital surfaces. Regulators require proof of resilience. Customers expect seamless, secure experiences across every channel.
Identity-based attacks
Credential theft and account takeover attempts are the primary attack vector against financial institutions, requiring real-time identity verification and Zero Trust enforcement.
Expanded attack surfaces
Omnichannel banking, mobile apps, APIs, and third-party integrations create new entry points that require consistent policy enforcement across every channel.
Regulatory compliance
Overlapping data privacy mandates (GDPR, CCPA, LGPD) and operational resilience frameworks demand continuous monitoring, audit trails, and automated compliance reporting.
Workforce evolution
Hybrid work, remote branches, and direct internet access require secure connectivity without latency trade-offs for cloud and SaaS applications.
