Deploying advanced threat detection and identity security for an investment bank.

A detailed breakdown of how we assessed, secured, and optimized the client's infrastructure.
An investment bank and wealth management firm serving corporate and retail clients across India. The bank operates across high-security environments with distributed advisory teams.
The bank was targeted by advanced spear-phishing and credential stuffing attacks attempting to access client accounts. The client's legacy security systems lacked the visibility and response speed to detect and stop these attacks.
CyberWinks performed a vulnerability assessment and penetration test against the bank's external systems and user portals. We located security weaknesses in administrative APIs, exposed credential caches, and a lack of monitoring for user access activities.
We designed a zero-trust threat defense strategy. The plan focused on deploying advanced endpoint security, implementing privileged access management (PAM), and integrating threat intelligence feeds to block emerging attack vectors.
Our teams implemented a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution to secure administrative access to transaction databases. We deployed advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents across all developer and analyst workstations, and integrated threat intelligence feeds with the bank's firewalls to block malicious IPs automatically.
The bank's external application portals were fully secured against credential stuffing attacks. The SOC achieved complete visibility into user access activities, reducing response times for credential abuse alerts. The new PAM solution helped the bank pass its annual financial security audit with zero compliance findings.
