Finance & Fintech Security
Client-Side Security for Finance and Fintech
Protect your financial services from client-side attacks and ensure regulatory compliance.
The finance and fintech industry is one of the most regulated spaces around. The risk of suffering a client-side attack comes paired with high regulatory breach fines and insurance claims. This makes both industries an ideal fit with client-side security products.
Compliance
PCI DSS v4.0.1, requirement 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, dictate that 3rd party JavaScript needs to be monitored and secured. This goes hand in hand with most finance and fintech's offerings, hence the need to adhere to these regulations.
With c/side, all required steps are done automatically, complete to the weekly report needed when audit time comes.
