Trust is the foundation of finance, and the first thing attackers go after.

Nearly 46% of financial institutions experienced a data breach in the past 24 months, and experts predict the sector will be the most breached industry by 2025. Even as 92% of financial organizations now require MFA, credential compromise and system intrusions remain leading causes of attack.

The threat is only accelerating. Four in five banking leaders say they can’t keep up with AI-driven attacks, as non-human identities, APIs, and bots multiply faster than traditional IAM controls can manage.

Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) turns that risk into control by continuously monitoring identity posture across cloud, APIs, and AI agents, giving leaders the intelligence to protect what matters most: trust. By continuously monitoring every identity, privilege, and access point, ISPM helps financial services organizations strengthen defenses and accelerate Zero Trust adoption.

This 12-Point ISPM Field Notes Guide for Finance helps you:

    • Identify and close visibility gaps across users, APIs, and AI agents
    • Streamline compliance with DORA, NYDFS, PCI DSS, and other global regulations
    • Strengthen fraud prevention across KYC, AML, and digital onboarding
    • Improve audit readiness and operational resilience with measurable posture scores
