The First Cyber-Deception Solution to Protect Wire Transfer Networks

To locate a network’s SWIFT system, attackers use APT techniques, diligently discovering the network by moving laterally from host to host. Once SWIFT assets are identified, protocols and processes are revealed, monitored, and mimicked, allowing attackers to steal large amounts of money below the organization’s radar.

The solution identifies and suppresses SWIFT attacks long before SWIFT assets are breached, triggering alerts that keep you one step ahead of attackers: safe and in control.
