The Cost of Inaction
Could Be Disaster

There's a silent killer in your financial services organization. If you think it isn't happening, think again:

  • It takes the Financial & Banking Industry more than 48 days on average to identify an internal threat
  • Then, it takes more than 11 days on average to address this internal corruption

By then, significant damage is done - and the financial impacts are already starting to take their toll. With an average remediation cost of $450,000 per incident, even minor vulnerabilities can impact your ability to invest in your business.

The Price of Noncompliance

GLBA
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) requires that financial institutions follow a specific set of security protocols. Should organizations subject to GLBA expose that financial data, the penalties are more than costly — they can involve prison time. Each individual violation carries a $100,000 fine for the business. Individuals responsible for the breach must pay an additional $10,000 per incident and face up to five years of imprisonment for criminal actions.

PCI DSS
The PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) applies to any organization that handles customer credit card information, and requires that companies follow strict data security protocols. Falling out of PCI DSS compliance entails a penalty of $5,000 – $500,000, depending on the infraction, while a data breach will set you back $50 – $90 per customer affected.

“Detecting insider threats requires visibility into actions that users and applications perform, identifying deviations in normal behavior and using that information to identify distinct threats.”
