Helping the Financial Services Sector Thrive in a Dynamic World
Seize business opportunities and accelerate IT transformation while maintaining customer trust
View webinar:
A fast-moving risk environment can be a huge obstacle to maintaining customer trust. But having the right visibility and insights can ensure that your business stays protected, and your business-critical applications run smoothly.
The exponential pace of new technologies – including generative AI and open banking – present both opportunities and unknown risks that financial institutions have not yet faced. The increase in technology partners and the ever-changing attack surface can expose your infrastructure to new vulnerabilities and threats. Staying on top of all the assets you manage as well as those you don’t, and how those assets communicate with one another, is an ongoing effort that needs to be accomplished in real-time and at scale.
Challenges
Expose Risks Before They Impact the Business
From legacy systems to applications in the cloud, and all the transactions and sensitive data in between—your infrastructure is vast and dynamic. The challenge is identifying risks and resolving issues before they impact the business, all while making the most of your team’s talent.
The Unknown Unknowns
Discovering risks that your security team doesn’t know about or even anticipate. How will you reveal them before they can be used against you?
Threats Hiding in Encrypted Traffic
More than 85% of attacks were encrypted in 2022, with malware posing the greatest threat. In the future, AI may allow threat actors to launch encrypted attacks at scale.
Threats Already Inside Your Network
Identifying attacks leveraging trusted applications, including supply chain attacks and living off the land (LOTL) attacks, as well as lateral movement, privilege escalation, and other MITRE ATT&CK TTPs.
The Real Root Cause of App Performance Issues
Uncovering the real root cause of application performance issues can get murky. Is the latency the customer is experiencing caused by the application, the SaaS provider, or the network?
Managing Costs, Resources, and Complexity
Pressure to increase margins limits resources and budgets. The proliferation of tools requires teams to deploy and manage them.
Take away
Navigating what’s next requires truth, transparency, faster remediation, and resiliency.

Applications Are More Than Just Code
In Financial Services, complex business applications can comprise many different components: on-premises and in the cloud, off-the-shelf and custom, first-party and third-party. Though the application delivery chain may start with code, it can span application servers, backend databases, shared services, authentication services, DNS, message queuing, thin clients, and maybe even a mainframe. For the application to perform well, all of these must work together in synchronicity, talking to each other across the network.
Troubleshoot Smarter and Resolve Issues Faster
- Eliminate blind spots by complementing your application performance monitoring (APM) solution, gain visibility into assets that don’t support agents and more
- Automatically pinpoint issues across the multi-tier application delivery chain before they impact the user experience
- Understand application dependencies and interactions with your broader IT infrastructure
Accelerate Modernization and Reduce Downtime
- Gain confidence to speed up the deployment of your most critical applications
- Migrate revenue-generating applications while minimizing risk and service disruption
- Improve decision-making with end-to-end visibility and actionable insights
Improve Operational Efficiency Across Teams
- Understand the root cause of latency, whether the problem is with your infrastructure, the application code, or third-party services
- Eliminate organizational silos and finger-pointing by delivering clear evidence to ITOps, SecOps, and DevOps
- Optimize IT costs and enable efficiencies among teams
- Empower less experienced analysts to perform expert-level analysis

Zero Trust Requires Network Visibility
NIST SP 800-207 describes a zero trust architecture, providing tenets and requirements for the enterprise. One key requirement is that the enterprise observe all network traffic. Analysts have stated: “There can be no Zero Trust without visibility into what’s happening inside networks.” True visibility requires examining actual payloads, not just the contextual information in packet headers. For financial institutions, this visibility and examination needs to happen at tremendous speed and scale.
