Cyber Threats to Financial Institutions are Escalating

In today’s digital-first financial landscape, cybercriminals are targeting institutions with increasing precision. With mobile platforms, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and third-party integrations all part of the modern stack, the application attack surface has never been broader or more complex.

Financial institutions face growing risk from:

  • R

    Detect issues earlier, when they’re faster and more cost-effective to fix

  • R

    Expanding cloud environments introducing configuration challenges

  • R

    Third-party vendors introducing unmanaged exposure

  • R

    Industry mandates and security frameworks such as PCI DSS, OWASP Top 10, and NIST shaping expectations for security maturity

Even a single unpatched vulnerability can result in regulatory scrutiny, reputational damage, and financial loss. In this high-stakes environment, proactive application security is not optional—it’s mission-critical.

Strengthen Software Security Before Threats Reach Production

Security issues cost less the earlier they are addressed – defects found after deployment cost 30x more than defects addressed in design or development. CMD+CTRL enables teams across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to identify, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities before they make it to production.

By integrating role-based security training into your development process, you can:

  • R

    Detect issues earlier, when they’re faster and more cost-effective to fix

  • R

    Reduce risk exposure across your applications

  • R

    Accelerate delivery by minimizing late-stage remediation

CMD+CTRL empowers your entire team, from developers to testers and architects, to build secure software with confidence, improving resilience and performance at every stage.
