Industry Challenges
Because that’s where the money is
Finance is the second most expensive breach environment, at 5.56 million dollars per breach on average (IBM, 2025), and it answers to a regulatory stack unlike any other: DORA with fines up to 2 percent of global turnover, NYDFS Part 500 fully phased in, SEC four-business-day incident disclosure, and PCI DSS 4.0. Estates mix decades-old core banking systems with cloud-native fintech cybersecurity stacks, M&A keeps adding inherited risk, and third parties are now involved in 48 percent of breaches (Verizon DBIR, 2026). Scanners find plenty. The challenge is proving the right risks get fixed, on time, across all of it.
Customer Testimonials
Financial institutions bank on ArmorCode
“ArmorCode helps us track key metrics like mean time to remediation, allowing us to report performance and improvements to team leads and the board. It’s become a central part of how we measure progress.”
“ArmorCode stands out as a distinctive platform that seamlessly connects applications, cloud infrastructure, and intelligence feeds. It functions as a technology designed to integrate various tools effectively.”
“Utilizing a tool like ArmorCode, I receive notifications without even accessing the portal. It proactively informs me about pending tasks, such as unresolved vulnerabilities or approaching SLA due dates, so I can stay on top of the issues and trends that I can then use to communicate with my peers and leaders in product teams to make a more timely and business focused decisions.”
“If you’re using a scanner that also claims to provide ASPM, it’s often biased towards its own results, limiting visibility into other tools in your security program. With ArmorCode, being tool-agnostic and vendor-neutral, I get an unbiased view, allowing me to accurately prioritize across all my tools.”
“My experience with ArmorCode has been positive. We have seen remarkable improvements in the security compliance of our applications since implementing the tool. Its functionality has significantly enhanced our ability to manage vulnerabilities.”
How ArmorCode Helps
Why ArmorCode for financial services cybersecurity?
ArmorCode is trusted by the world’s leading financial organizations, including Visa, PayPal, and Discover, to protect customer data, enable compliance, and keep remediation moving at the speed regulators expect. Because ArmorCode is independent and scanner-agnostic, prioritization stays unbiased across every tool you own today and every tool an acquisition brings tomorrow.
See Every Risk, No Bias
Unify findings from decades-old core banking systems and modern fintech stacks into one unbiased view. No scanner bias, no favoritism, and every acquisition’s tools fold in without a migration project.
Rank What Really Matters
Adaptive Risk Scoring weighs business context and asset criticality, so payment systems outrank internal tools. Exploitability clusters narrow the flood to the roughly 3 percent of findings driving 80 percent of real risk.
Proof Examiners Trust
DORA compliance, SEC disclosure, and NYDFS all demand proof. The Decision Trail records every finding, decision, fix, and verification in one place, so audits become a lookup instead of a scramble.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is financial services cybersecurity, and why is it different for banks and fintechs?
A: Financial services cybersecurity has to satisfy a regulatory stack unlike any other industry, spanning DORA, NYDFS Part 500, SEC disclosure rules, and PCI DSS 4.0, on top of the usual demands of protecting customer financial data. For banks and fintechs, this typically means:
- Proving remediation happened on time, not just that a scan ran
- Unifying decades-old core banking systems with modern cloud-native stacks
- Producing audit-ready evidence on demand rather than assembling it after the fact
Q: How does ArmorCode support DORA compliance?
A: ArmorCode supports DORA compliance by giving financial institutions a Decision Trail that records every finding, decision, fix, and verification in one place, turning an audit into a lookup instead of a scramble. Compliance itself remains the institution’s own obligation; ArmorCode’s role is giving examiners and internal teams the evidence trail DORA requires without a separate reporting effort.
Q: What is risk-based vulnerability management, and how does it support CTEM for banks?
A: Risk-based vulnerability management prioritizes fixes by actual business risk rather than raw finding count, weighing factors like asset criticality so a payment-processing system outranks an internal tool with the same vulnerability. It provides the prioritization and remediation foundation banks need to operationalize continuous threat exposure management, keeping teams focused on the roughly 3 percent of findings that drive most real risk.
Q: Can one platform cover both legacy banking systems and modern fintech stacks?
A: Yes. A platform that’s scanner-agnostic and unbiased by design can unify findings from decades-old core banking systems and cloud-native fintech cybersecurity tools into a single view, without requiring a migration project every time an acquisition brings in a new toolset. This matters most for institutions where M&A keeps adding inherited risk from systems the security team didn’t choose.
Q: What counts as banking security solutions versus general enterprise security tools?
A: Banking security solutions need to answer to regulators that general enterprise tools don’t, including four-business-day SEC incident disclosure, NYDFS Part 500 governance requirements, and DORA’s operational resilience mandates. The practical difference shows up in evidence: a banking-grade platform needs to produce defensible, examiner-ready proof of remediation, not just a dashboard of open findings.
Q: How do third-party and vendor risks factor into financial services cybersecurity?
A: Third parties are now involved in 48 percent of breaches (Verizon DBIR, 2026), which makes vendor risk a core part of financial services cybersecurity rather than a separate program. Unifying findings across owned infrastructure, cloud, applications, and the tools inherited through M&A gives institutions one place to see where third-party exposure is concentrated, instead of tracking it in a spreadsheet parallel to everything else.
