Bridging the Cybersecurity Gap in Fintech: How Cognitive Network Powers Resilience
The fintech and banking sectors are at the forefront of digital innovation—but also prime targets for cyberattacks. From data breaches and fraudulent transactions to API vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations, the risks are growing both in scale and sophistication.
Despite investing in advanced tools, many companies still struggle with one critical gap: cybersecurity talent.
Why the Risk Is Real
Mobile payments and digital wallets expose user data to attack vectors.
Open APIs, commonly used in fintech, are often under-secured.
Regulatory pressure from bodies like the RBI, PCI-DSS, and GDPR adds compliance burdens.
AI-based fraud detection systems themselves can be manipulated if not secured correctly.
