Stop Cyberattacks that Target the Financial Sector
The financial sector is highly targeted by cyber attackers, who use ransomware, phishing, DDOS, and other methods to get their hands on sensitive customer data.
Banks, credit unions and financial services organizations are all given a high level of trust by their patrons, who hand over sensitive data and expect it to be safe. Any successful cyberattack not only costs the organization money, it can erode, if not destroy, customer trust in an instant.

Types of Vulnerabilities
With critical vulnerabilities taking an average of more than 100 days to remediate, your security team must be able to quickly assess and accurately prioritize security weaknesses. Often high-risk weaknesses are known vulnerabilities, like unpatched software or configurations errors, that have been overlooked for one reason or another.
Some of the leading types of vulnerabilities found in financial organizations today include:
Easily guessable credentials
Poorly configured SSL/TLS
Passwordless printers
Unsecured Remote Access
Unpatched, known vulnerabilities
Many of these are subject to Remote Code Execution and RDP exploitation, Man-in-the-Middle attacks, or Denial of Service.
These types of weaknesses are frequently found in peer organizations, and likely exist in your own as well. The Insights feature in Fortra VM shows you information from similar institutions in the financial sector, so you can learn about commonly found vulnerabilities in your industry, the security posture of peer organizations, and see how you stack up by comparison.
