Financial and Banking

In the financial and banking sector, segmentation testing is essential to ensure that sensitive systems, such as those handling payment processing or customer data, are properly isolated from broader networks. Without effective segmentation, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in less secure systems to gain lateral access to critical assets within your Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) or other high-value areas.

Segmentation testing validates that your network boundaries are configured correctly, ensuring compliance with standards like PCI DSS while reducing the scope of audits and minimizing risk exposure. By identifying misconfigurations, gaps in firewalls, or improper access controls, Raxis helps financial institutions prevent unauthorized access and maintain a strong security posture. This process not only enhances regulatory compliance but also protects sensitive customer data and ensures uninterrupted service delivery in an increasingly interconnected digital landscape.

Cybercriminals constantly evolve their tactics, and even the smallest misconfiguration or incomplete fix can leave your institution exposed. Retesting validates that your remediation efforts have successfully mitigated the identified risks while ensuring no new vulnerabilities were introduced during the process.

By revisiting the findings from the initial test, Raxis uses the same tools and techniques to confirm that fixes are implemented correctly, whether at the application, network, or system level. This step is particularly important for financial institutions to maintain compliance with regulations like PCI DSS and FFIEC guidelines, as it demonstrates a commitment to ongoing security improvement. Beyond compliance, retesting provides peace of mind by verifying that critical systems are secure and resilient against real-world threats, reinforcing customer trust and safeguarding sensitive financial data.

Imagine a cybercriminal targeting your financial institution. They aren’t relying on basic tools or surface-level scans—they’re using creativity, persistence, and advanced techniques to find weaknesses in your defenses. Now ask yourself: would an automated scan alone be enough to stop them?

Raxis knows the answer is no. That’s why we take a hands-on approach to penetration testing that goes far beyond what automated tools can deliver. While many competitors rely solely on scans to identify theoretical vulnerabilities, we dig deeper, uncovering the real-world risks that could jeopardize your financial systems.

Cybercriminals don’t use automated tools—they use creativity, persistence, and advanced techniques to breach financial systems. At Raxis, we do the same. Following the NIST SP 800-115 framework, we go beyond basic scans to provide proof-of-concept exploits that reveal exactly how attackers could compromise your systems. We don’t just identify vulnerabilities; we demonstrate their real-world impact. By simulating sophisticated attack scenarios, we uncover hidden risks that automated tools miss, helping you build a more resilient defense against evolving cyber threats.
