Finance / Insurance

Banks and insurance companies are part of critical infrastructure and are particularly attractive targets for cyberattacks. For this reason, financial institutions must increase their digital resilience and remain capable of operating even in the event of cyberattacks, IT outages, or other disruptions. At the same time, regulatory pressure on the industry is growing:

The European Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) requires financial institutions to systematically manage their IT risks, implement security measures, and demonstrate the resilience of their digital systems. At the same time, challenges such as cyber fraud and money laundering (Anti-Money Laundering, AML) continue to grow and require powerful technical solutions for detecting suspicious activity.

Fraunhofer SIT supports companies in the financial and insurance sectors in designing their systems and processes securely. Our experts assess the security requirements of IT systems and products, conduct IT security risk analyses, provide consulting on the implementation of regulatory requirements, and develop innovative solutions for greater digital resilience.

In doing so, we combine many years of expertise in IT security, IT forensics, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. Using transparent AI processes and methods that comply with data protection regulations, we help evaluate large volumes of data, detect risks early on, and reliably identify suspicious patterns.
