Empowering Financial Institutions with Comprehensive Security Solutions

Protecting Against Multifaceted Threats in a Complex Landscape 

At Toro, we don’t just offer security — we empower financial institutions to thrive in an increasingly complex and high-risk environment. 

In the modern financial sector, threats are multifaceted, encompassing advanced cyberattacks, physical vulnerabilities, and insider risks. Our comprehensive approach to protecting our customers ensures that every aspect of your organisation is secured, whether it’s safeguarding sensitive data, securing your offices, or ensuring the safety of key personnel, we cover all aspects.  

With years of experience protecting sensitive data, high-value assets, and ensuring compliance with the most rigorous security regulations, we equip financial institutions with the resilience they need to navigate and thrive amidst the prolific threat landscape Toro is witnessing.    

Why Should You Care? 

The financial sector is under increasing attack due to the value of the assets and sensitive data it handles, making the financial sector a prime target for criminals. Companies are facing evolving threats like insider fraud, data breaches, and blended attacks that are leading to Financial Conduct Authority investigations, severe financial penalties, loss of trust, and significant operational disruptions. Moreover, financial institutions must now comply with stringent regulations like DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) and NIS2, making it critical to have robust security measures in place.  
 
A critical concern for the financial sector is data integrity. Organisations are increasingly worried about the manipulation of bank details or financial data by threat actors. Combined with the growing risks of insider threats, such as fraud and tampering with sensitive information, the need for strong security frameworks has never been more pressing. 
 
With the rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence) adoption, there are even more complexities and vulnerabilities to manage. Toro's solutions are designed to protect your business from these advanced threats while ensuring compliance.

Toro Secure360

Transparent for Light Backgrounds


Toro Secure360 offers a comprehensive suite of cyber security solutions and a Security Operations Centre (SOC) designed to protect your business against the multitude of threats being faced today. This includes Zero-Day and polymorphic threats, as well as the increasing risk of Remote Execution Ransomware attacks, which can involve data exfiltration sold on the dark web by cyber criminals.   

As financial organisations are a prime target for threat actors, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a critical feature of Toro Secure360. Attackers frequently aim to intercept or manipulate sensitive information, such as bank details, making it essential to safeguard data integrity. Toro Secure360 addresses this by ensuring that financial data remains secure and unaltered, protecting your organisation from both external breaches and internal threats. 

Additionally, with the rise of AI technologies, it’s crucial to consider the implications for intellectual property (IP) and potential infringement. This is particularly relevant for investment organisations that leverage AI for decision-making and analysis. Toro Secure360 offers robust measures to protect your intellectual property, helping to mitigate risks associated with AI misuse and safeguarding your competitive advantage. 

Our integrated services provide unparalleled protection, seamlessly   combining multiple layers of security in a defence-in-depth strategy to ensure that your organisation is protected from attacks from all fronts.

Supply Chain
 
In today's globalised marketplace, supply chains are critical in a wide range of industries, ensuring the seamless flow of goods and services.
The finance sector is no exception, as financial supply chains rely on intricate networks to facilitate transactions, investments, and run the business.
However, as supply chains grow in complexity and have an increasing reliance on technology the need for robust supply chain security has never been higher.
NIS2
 
Over the next couple of years, we are set to experience some significant regulatory changes in the field of IT and cyber security.
NIS2 is the top of a three-pointed triangle alongside the Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
Before addressing NIS2 I will quickly cover these accompanying changes, one of which we have already discussed: 

DORA
 
The EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) will officially take effect on January 17th 2025. Failure to achieve DORA compliance by the deadline could result in substantial fines for your organisation, so it is important that you start to get prepared now. 
Our latest blog post provides essential insights into DORA, covering its purpose, key components, who it affects, and steps for preparation.
