Protecting Financial Institutions from Domain Threats

Financial services organizations are primary targets for domain-based attacks. Credential harvesting campaigns impersonate online banking portals to capture login credentials. Business email compromise schemes use lookalike domains to redirect wire transfers. Fraudulent investment sites leverage brand recognition to deceive consumers.

The financial impact of successful attacks includes direct fraud losses, regulatory penalties, customer compensation, and reputation damage. Regulatory frameworks including PCI DSS, SOX, GLBA, and DORA require controls protecting customer data and financial transactions.

Webasto's financial services solution combines specialized threat intelligence with compliance-ready controls and rapid response capabilities designed for the unique requirements of regulated financial institutions.

Financial Sector Threat Landscape

Banking Credential Phishing

Sophisticated phishing campaigns replicate online banking interfaces with pixel-perfect accuracy. Multi-stage attacks capture usernames, passwords, OTPs, and security questions. Real-time credential validation enables immediate account compromise.

Payment Fraud Infrastructure

Fraudulent payment processing domains redirect transactions or harvest card data. Attackers impersonate legitimate payment gateways to intercept customer payments destined for financial institutions.

Business Email Compromise

Lookalike domains enable sender address spoofing that bypasses email authentication. Attackers impersonate executives or known vendors to authorize fraudulent wire transfers and payment changes.

Investment Fraud

Fake investment platforms, crypto scams, and impersonated financial advisors exploit institutional brand trust. These schemes often operate for extended periods before detection.

Compliance Integration

PCI DSS Alignment

Domain monitoring supports PCI DSS requirements for protecting cardholder data by detecting phishing sites that harvest payment credentials. Audit-ready reporting documents monitoring coverage and response activities.

SOX Controls

SOX compliance requires controls protecting financial systems and data integrity. Domain monitoring provides evidence of brand protection measures for IT general controls documentation.

DORA Requirements

The Digital Operational Resilience Act mandates ICT risk management including third-party and supply chain risks. Domain monitoring identifies threats targeting your organization and critical vendors.
