Digital banking has outgrown traditional vulnerability management
As banks race to deliver mobile-first banking, open-banking APIs, cloud core-banking workloads and instant-payment rails, the attack surface expands faster than security teams can assess it. Digital channels, ATMs, third-party integrations and cloud infrastructure now sit alongside legacy systems - and each new service is a new way in.
Legacy scanning tools respond by generating thousands of undifferentiated alerts. Teams drown in CVEs while the handful of exposures that would actually let an attacker reach a core banking system, a payment switch or a customer database stay hidden in the noise. Point-in-time penetration tests, run once or twice a year for the regulator, are already stale by the time the report is signed.
Meanwhile, ransomware crews and AI-assisted adversaries are targeting the financial sector specifically - and financial regulators worldwide increasingly expect banks to demonstrate continuous, evidence-based exposure management rather than annual box-ticking. Defending against AI-driven adversaries demands an AI-driven defence.
Banks face an ever-expanding attack surface across digital and mobile banking, open-banking APIs, cloud infrastructure, payment systems, ATMs and a deep third-party ecosystem.
Traditional vulnerability management does not keep up with the pace at which attackers are operating and lacks an optimized and streamlined flow for operations.
Deploy SecureX360 to run a continuous CTEM programme that discovers, prioritises, validates and remediates critical exposures around the clock. By allowing customers to discover assets and ensure there are no gaps in the attack surface area.
Then identifying the vulnerabilities across the environment and creating a thorough risk register across the surface, and prioritizing them as per the business requirements using SecureX360’s Intelligent VPT framework, and validating them with PenX360's AI-powered automated penetration testing before remediating the vulnerabilities with guidance from the built-in cyber security AI assistant.
Then remediating the vulnerabilities swiftly within a unified portal to help streamline operations. This simplifies the overall lifecycle and reduces manual effort needed.
