# Secure Financial Services with an Attacker’s Perspective

View your network through the eyes of an attacker.

In financial services, every breach has real consequences—financial losses, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage. The stakes are high, and traditional, periodic security testing leaves organizations vulnerable. To stay ahead of threats, financial institutions need a proactive, attacker’s-eye view of their security posture.

##### USE CASE

## Example of strengthening financial services cybersecurity

A large financial service company conducted their first autonomous internal pentest using NodeZero®. **In under 14 hours, NodeZero® uncovered 586 critical impacts, including three domain compromises,** by exploiting credential dumping and weak access controls. NodeZero obtained:

- **Domain Compromise:** Gained control over domain administrator accounts.
- **Host Compromise:** Exploited an RCE vulnerability, compromising 47 hosts from a single entry point.
- **Host Compromise (Local Admin):** Used local admin credentials to expand control from one device to 115 hosts.

The institution quickly remediated these issues, eliminating the exploitable attack paths, and strengthened their security, visibility, and compliance.

## Beyond Penetration Testing — Proactive Risk Management

Traditional testing leaves gaps—NodeZero closes them. Continuously validate your security across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. Uncover, prioritize, and remediate risks in hours.

## Stay Ahead with Continuous Testing

Periodic assessments often miss evolving security risks. NodeZero provides real-time security validation, keeping you ahead of attackers—always.

## Key Benefits of NodeZero for Financial Services:
