Cybersecurity is one of the biggest challenges for fintech. Every technological innovation comes with new risks, and data and system protection cannot be put on the back burner. The good news? There is an efficient, agile, and continuous way to keep your operations secure: on-demand penetration testing, also known as Pentest as a Service (PTaaS).
Imagine having a team of experts scanning your platforms for vulnerabilities before attackers do, all managed from an intuitive platform that adapts to your needs. In this article, we tell you how penetration testing for fintech can make a difference and ensure your company is always one step ahead of threats.
What is Pentest as a Service, and why is it key for fintech?
Pentest as a Service (PTaaS) is an innovative model that allows companies to perform penetration testing in an agile, customized, and continuous manner. Unlike traditional approaches, which are often costly and inflexible, PTaaS adapts to the needs of fintech by offering on-demand access to security tests performed by expert ethical hackers.
Fintech operates in a high-speed environment where innovation is key, but so is user trust. A cyber-attack can irreparably damage a company’s reputation and generate significant financial losses. That is why having a service such as PTaaS that combines speed, efficiency and optimized costs is essential.
