Runtime security for financial institutions: Insight into the core benefits
Financial services face a growing threat landscape, with a 50% rise in zero-day exploits and a 180% increase in data breaches from vulnerabilities. Adversaries target infrastructure and applications to attack customers and partners, known as "island hopping." Current security tools like SAST and DAST often lack context and runtime visibility. To protect applications and cloud environments, financial institutions must evolve their cybersecurity strategies. Runtime security, which continuously monitors for behavioral anomalies at the application layer, offers the detection and response needed against sophisticated threats.
