Defense in Depth for Accounts and Transactions

Adopt phishing-resistant authentication like passkeys and WebAuthn platform authenticators. Replace SMS OTPs where possible, enable number matching for pushes, and design secure recovery that avoids email resets. What’s your biggest hurdle in rolling out passkeys across your customer base?

Protecting Data Everywhere

Enforce TLS 1.3, enable HSTS, and prefer modern cipher suites. For internal APIs, add mutual TLS. In mobile apps, implement careful certificate pinning with safe update channels. Tell us which legacy dependencies still block your full TLS modernization.

Real-Time Fraud Detection and Behavioral Analytics

Look for velocity spikes, impossible travel, atypical device posture, and behavioral biometrics like typing cadence or swipe patterns. A regional bank blocked a mule ring after noticing a sudden shift in night-time payee creation. What signals do you prioritize?

Real-Time Fraud Detection and Behavioral Analytics

Engineer features around transactions, identities, and devices, monitor model drift, and maintain explainability for reviewers. Calibrate thresholds with shadow mode and A/B testing before broad rollout. Comment if you want our minimal viable fraud pipeline architecture diagram.

Real-Time Fraud Detection and Behavioral Analytics

Use adaptive step-up: add friction only when risk rises. Offer soft challenges first, then stronger checks. One bank cut false positives 30% by personalizing thresholds. Tell us how you measure satisfaction alongside fraud catch rates without compromising security.

Incident Response, Resilience, and Recovery

Playbooks and Tabletop Drills

Define roles, escalation paths, and decision gates. Practice realistic drills—credential stuffing waves, ransomware, or rogue API keys. After one midnight simulation, a team fixed paging gaps that could have cost real hours. Share your favorite drill scenario.

Backups, Ransomware, and Business Continuity

Maintain immutable, offline backups, test restores quarterly, and segment networks to contain blast radius. Map critical services and recovery time objectives. Have you validated a full restore recently? Comment to receive our step-by-step restore rehearsal checklist.

Regulatory Reporting and Customer Communication

Prepare timelines, pre-approved notices, and clear channels for rapid, empathetic updates. Document facts, avoid speculation, and prioritize guidance that protects customers immediately. Want a communication template library tailored to banking incidents? Tell us, and we will prioritize it.

Customer Education That Actually Works

Short, focused lessons beat dense manuals. Use in-app nudges, seasonal reminders, and real screenshots of scams. A customer flagged a fake support chat after a two-minute tutorial. Share topics you want included in the next micro-lesson batch.

Customer Education That Actually Works

Introduce passkeys with clear benefits, step-by-step enrollment, and safe recovery paths. Support roaming authenticators for travelers and strong device unlock policies. What keeps your customers from adopting passkeys today? Comment, and we will co-create guidance you can reuse.
