Built for Every Part of BFSI

Cybersecurity for Banks means securing more than the core banking system; it means covering every system a financial institution actually runs on

01

Banking Systems

Core banking, ATM networks, and mobile banking are monitored in a single view, so an attack on one doesn't go unnoticed just because it started elsewhere.

02

Payment Systems

Payment rails and transaction infrastructure are covered under RBI's real-time threat detection and reporting requirements.

03

Investment & Trading Firms

Trading systems monitored for compromise, rogue trade execution, and manipulation attempts, aligned to SEBI CSCRF 2024 requirements for capital markets.

04

Insurance Firms

Customer PII and policy data protected in line with DPDPA obligations, alongside the broader compliance frameworks Samay Infosolutions supports across the financial sector.

The BFSI Threat Landscape

Ransomware

"Pay us ₹50 crores, or we publish customer data." Ransomware holds your data hostage. Samay Infosolutions detects ransomware in the reconnaissance phase, stopping it before encryption.

Data Theft (Customer PII)

Attackers steal customer names, addresses, phone numbers, account numbers, and investment history, then sell them on the dark web for ₹100-500 per record. A large breach means millions of records, or ₹50+ crores of stolen data.

Credential Theft

Admin credentials stolen. An attacker logs in as a legitimate user, transfers funds, modifies account details, and disables audit logs. By the time you notice, the damage is done.

Trading System Compromise

Attackers compromise trading systems, execute rogue trades, manipulate stock prices, and cause market volatility, triggering regulatory fines and reputational damage.

Insider Threats

An employee with access sells customer data, transfers funds to a personal account, or disables controls. Insider threats are hardest to detect because they look legitimate.

Why Samay Infosolutions for BFSI

01

Unified Visibility

Banking systems, payment systems, trading systems, reporting systems, ATM networks, mobile banking. Samay Infosolutions sees it all and detects attacks across systems, not just within one.

02

RBI Compliance

RBI requires real-time threat detection, incident response capability, regulatory reporting, regular security assessments, and compliance audit trails. Samay Infosolutions meets all of these, with documentation that proves it.

03

SEBI CSCRF 2024 Compliance

SEBI requires a cybersecurity framework, incident response procedures, business continuity planning, and third-party risk management. Samay Infosolutions demonstrates all of this directly to SEBI.

04

DPDPA Compliance

DPDPA protects customer PII, and breaches require notification within 72 hours, with penalties up to ₹5 crores. Samay Infosolutions detects data exfiltration in minutes, enabling rapid notification.

05

Customer Confidence

Your customers see that Samay Infosolutions protects their data. Trust increases. Deposits increase. Market share increases.

06

Threat Intelligence Across the Sector

We monitor threats across all 50+ BFSI customers. When a pattern emerges, for example, a Trojan actively targeting the banking sector, we alert every customer, so a threat stopped at one institution is stopped industry-wide.

Threat Scenarios We Prevent

01

RBI Breach Incident

Threat

An attacker compromises an admin account, transfers ₹10 crores to a personal account, and deletes audit logs. Six hours later, you discover ₹10 crores missing.

SEBI Data Theft

Threat

An insider employee exfiltrates trading algorithms and sells them to a competitor hedge fund. Your competitive advantage is lost.

Samay Infosolutions Outcome

Session recording captured the exfiltration. Insider identified. Trading algorithms not actually lost—damage prevented.

03

DPDPA Customer Data Breach

Threat

Attacker steals customer PII. ₹50+ crores of personal data exposed. DPDPA penalty of ₹5 crores. Reputational damage of ₹100+ crores from customer flight.

Frequently Asked Questions

BFSI environments run multiple critical systems simultaneously: core banking, payment rails, trading platforms, ATM networks, and mobile banking, each carrying its own regulatory obligations under RBI, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI, and DPDPA. Cybersecurity for financial services must cover all of these in one view, with compliance documentation built in, rather than treating them as separate problems.

Behavioural analytics monitor transaction patterns in real time. In one documented incident, this approach flagged and stopped a ₹10 crore unauthorised transfer before it completed, rather than discovering it hours later through a manual audit trail review.

RBI's requirements around real-time threat detection, incident response, regulatory reporting, and audit trails; SEBI CSCRF 2024's cybersecurity framework, incident response, and third-party risk management requirements; and DPDPA's 72-hour breach notification requirement for customer PII, supported by data exfiltration detection within minutes.

Session recording and behavioural monitoring flag activity that deviates from a legitimate user's normal pattern, such as unusual data exfiltration or access to systems outside someone's role, even when the access itself uses valid credentials.

50+ banks, insurance companies, and investment firms since 2020, with over 1,000 ransomware attacks blocked and over 500 credential theft attempts stopped across that client base to date.

Your Financial Institution is One Breach Away From ₹50 Crore Penalties.
