Summary
The specifics of threats in digital banking
Digital banking often becomes the target of phishing attacks, session theft, man-in-the-middle attacks and lateral movement. These attacks often start with endpoint devices or poorly secured communications between systems.
Segmentation and encryption as foundations of protection
Certes Networks makes it possible to divide the infrastructure into zones with different levels of trust and controlled flows between them. With end-to-end traffic encryption, even if someone intercepts a piece of communication, they won’t read the content. In finance, this is especially critical, where every transaction matters.
How Certes Networks works in the financial community
The system works without modifying applications – network traffic is secured at the communication layer level. Access rules can be defined against a user, device, application or location. Combined with traffic analysis, it enables quick detection of unauthorized activity.
Regulatory compliance and security audit
Financial institutions have to meet many standards: PCI-DSS, PSD2, RODO, local banking regulations. Certes Networks provides mechanisms for auditing, reporting and enforcing security policies to help meet these requirements and pass regulator inspections.
Examples of implementations in the financial sector
-
Isolation of payment systems from the rest of the banking infrastructure
-
Encryption of communication between bank branches and servers
-
Control of mobile devices and banking applications in the financial area
-
Monitoring and blocking suspicious sessions in trading systems
FAQ
Does Certes put a strain on infrastructure?
No – designed to operate transparently and minimally affect performance.
Do you need to modify your banking applications?
No – the protection works at the network and communication level, without changing the application.
Does the system support financial regulation?
Yes – it offers the reports and mechanisms needed for compliance with PCI, PSD2, etc.
Does it work in the cloud and locally?
Yes – it works in hybrid, cloud and local infrastructure environments.
Summary
In a digital banking environment, security is not an add-on – it’s the foundation of operations. Certes Networks provides segmentation, encryption and access control mechanisms that protect data, transactions and financial systems from attacks. This enables institutions to operate with confidence, meet regulations and build customer trust.
