Cutting-edge Cybersecurity for the Financial Sector

Cybersecurity is non-negotiable in the modern financial sector. Many organizations struggle to protect themselves, including obtaining proactive intelligence and ensuring defense against threats to their organization and customers. Many also struggle with threat detection and monitoring, including the enforcement of required compliance regulations, and the identification and prevention of fraud.

HYAS solves these problems for financial institutions around the world with an easy-to-use SaaS solution that integrates seamlessly into their other tools and overall methodology.

Proactive Fraud Protection and Ensuring Compliance

Identifying the Actor Infrastructure

Our financial services clients use data analytics and machine learning to monitor transactions and user behavior for unusual patterns, including device and IP attribution. They correlate these anomalies with HYAS Insight to discover how attacks are being conducted, uncover the infrastructure involved, get insight into who, how, where, and when, and perhaps most importantly, what the criminals plan on doing next based on the infrastructure being established and weaponized.

Building a Case

They use platforms like HYAS Insight to map connections between fraud incidents, identifying repeat offenders or fraud networks. They gather evidence such as logs, communication records, and financial data when suspicious activity is detected. Expanding intelligence from known to new, previously unknown, data points allows them to connect the dots, make quick and effective decisions, and act fast to protect the organization.

Working with Authorities:

HYAS Insight users are enabled with actionable intelligence so they can work with authorities to stop bad actors. They pass information to registrars to dismantle malicious infrastructure. They liaise with law enforcement agencies to bring perpetrators to justice. And, they work with cybercrime units to escalate cases, especially when fraud crosses jurisdictions. You can produce the evidence required that allows the authorities to engage, take down the attacker’s infrastructure, stop future attacks, and even make arrests and recover funds.

Accelerated Threat Response

Threat Hunting

Financial organizations use HYAS Insight for rapid detection of new adversary infrastructure or infrastructure changes, and the correlation of suspicious IP addresses with device behavior and geo-location patterns, even when obfuscation techniques (Tor, VPN, or other) are in play. They look at infrastructure usage and leverage proactive alerting to understand where attacks come from, what infrastructure is being utilized, and what new infrastructure is being set up for future attacks.

Incident Response

HYAS Insight empowers incident response teams with real-time, enriched threat intelligence, enabling faster identification and attribution of malicious actors. HYAS clients boast that this streamlined data analysis and threat mapping allows teams to respond to incidents and close cases three times faster or more.

Triage

Teams can quickly correlate any indicators of compromise (IOCs) across multiple incidents. This unified view allows analysts to identify patterns, detect recurring threats and threat actors, and prioritize incidents based on shared infrastructure. This means reduced investigation time, improved response accuracy, and a more efficient process.
