Banks Must Proactively Defend Against Cyberthreats to Ensure Compliance and Success

======================================================

As the banking sector continues its digital journey, ensuring robust cybersecurity is paramount to protecting sensitive personal data, maintaining transactional integrity, and safeguarding the health of national and global economies.

To achieve this goal, financial institutions must adopt a holistic approach that incorporates policy as code, automation, and human expertise. Policy as code can help codify and automate policy checks, reducing the risk of non-compliance. Additionally, banks need skilled professionals who can harness the potential of new platforms and systems.
