Unified security operations built for capital markets — 24/7 SOC monitoring, trade surveillance, FIX protocol security, and dark web intelligence in a single AI-powered command center.
Capital markets firms face sophisticated cyber threats targeting trading infrastructure — requiring specialized security operations.
Capital markets firms are high-value targets for nation-state actors and cybercriminal syndicates. Advanced persistent threats exploit trading platforms, order management systems, and market data feeds to manipulate trades, exfiltrate strategies, or disrupt market operations.
Securing Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol connections and real-time market data feeds is critical. Unauthorized access to FIX sessions can lead to rogue orders, price manipulation, and significant financial and reputational damage.
Traders, quant developers, and technology staff with access to proprietary algorithms and trading strategies present significant insider risk. Detecting unauthorized data transfers, code exfiltration, and strategy leakage requires advanced behavioral analytics.
Capital markets firms must comply with overlapping cyber regulations from multiple jurisdictions — MiFID II, SEC Regulation SCI, DORA, and more. Maintaining continuous compliance across trading, clearing, and settlement systems demands automated monitoring.
Purpose-built security operations for capital markets infrastructure — from trading engines to settlement systems.
