Resilient Financial Services Cybersecurity Solutions for Uninterrupted Operations
Prevent costly downtime, protect sensitive financial data, maintain continuous regulatory compliance, and gain persistent, secure connectivity to mission-critical applications.
Securing distributed financial operations
In financial services IT, you aren’t just protecting a data center — you’re safeguarding trading desks, branch workstations, and the laptops that advisors, underwriters, and hybrid employees carry everywhere business happens.
Most traditional security tools fail the moment a device leaves the network, an agent stops reporting, or a control is disabled. In an industry where every minute of downtime carries financial and regulatory consequences, that fragility is not acceptable. To keep your organization operational, you must overcome three critical challenges:
- Operational resilience: Ransomware and IT disruptions freeze trading, block transactions, and lock employees out of core systems. You must stop disruption quickly to protect revenue, customer trust, and market obligations.
- Compliance Complexities: Regulators demand strict, provable adherence to frameworks like GLBA, PCI DSS, SOX, and DORA. You must maintain and demonstrate compliance across thousands of distributed devices, even when they leave your corporate network.
- Secure zero trust access: Hybrid employees, advisors, and third parties require least-privilege access to core banking, trading, and claims applications. When access fails or overreaches, both productivity and security suffer. You need resilient, per-app zero trust access that enforces device posture without the friction of legacy VPNs.
Absolute's autonomous cyber resilience platform delivers the cyber resilience required to reduce endpoint downtime, protect mission-critical systems, and help protect financial data under operational stress.

With Absolute Security, you can…
Reduce audit friction with continuous visibility and automated reporting that supports adherence to GLBA, PCI DSS, SOX, and DORA across your device fleet.
Generate automated reporting that helps protect customer financial data and strengthens audit readiness, so your teams can focus on clients and growth instead of compliance risk.
Retain command of every endpoint with persistent visibility and control, helping teams quickly identify, secure, and recover off-network or at-risk devices.
Gain complete visibility into each device’s location, security posture, inventory, and sensitive data, allowing teams to take immediate action against threats or compromise. With critical control functions like remote data wipe, device freezing, endpoint data discovery, and automated self-healing for essential applications, your endpoints remain resilient and secure at all times.
Provide employees, advisors, and hybrid teams with seamless, least-privilege access to core banking, trading, and claims applications — enabling zero trust access that enforces identity and device posture without the constant disconnects and repeated logins of legacy VPNs. Comply-to-connect policies help ensure only endpoints that meet security requirements can access the corporate network and critical applications.
Our secure, optimized tunnel, built specifically for modern workforce mobility, delivers reliable connectivity with tight SSO/SAML integration for fast onboarding and offboarding. Advanced diagnostics help create streamlined, secure digital experiences that don’t result in help desk calls or downtime. Keep your workforce connected, productive, and focused on serving clients.
Respond quickly to ransomware-related disruption. Our self-healing endpoint security helps restore mission-critical applications to a trusted, operational state, supporting cyber resilience and business continuity.
Boost your ransomware preparedness and accelerate recovery with a solution that helps keep endpoints, data, and security controls resilient. By maintaining a persistent connection to every laptop and workstation, you can reduce operational disruption and keep financial services teams productive and secure.
Protect customer trust and ensure operational uptime: A reality check for financial services IT
Financial work no longer happens inside a branch perimeter. Advisors, traders, and hybrid employees need instant access to core systems from anywhere — and legacy VPNs answer that need with full-network exposure, dropped sessions, and login friction.
Replace fragile, over-permissive access with resilient, least-privilege connections built for how financial teams actually work.
- Per-app zero trust access: Grant access to core banking, trading, and claims applications individually — based on identity, device posture, and context — instead of exposing the whole network.
- Session persistence: Keep applications active and logged in through network flickers and Wi-Fi-to-cellular switches, eliminating productivity-killing drops.
- Fast onboarding and offboarding: Tight SSO/SAML integration provisions new hires, contractors, and post-M&A teams quickly — and revokes access just as fast.
Absolute keeps your distributed workforce connected and productive without expanding your attack surface.

Customer PII, account data, and deal information travel on thousands of laptops — far beyond the protection of network boundaries. Every unmonitored endpoint is potential regulatory exposure and front-page risk.
Discover and secure sensitive data directly on the device before it becomes a breach.
- Sensitive data discovery: Continuously identify files containing PII, financial records, and intellectual property across your endpoint fleet.
- Encryption enforcement: Monitor encryption status across endpoints and help IT respond quickly when encryption controls are missing, disabled, or drift out of policy.
- Targeted protection actions: Remotely wipe or freeze at-risk devices, and delete sensitive files from endpoints that should not store them.
Absolute helps reduce breach risk by finding and protecting sensitive data wherever it lives.

When an incident hits, every hour of endpoint downtime compounds into lost transactions, missed obligations, and regulatory scrutiny. Manual recovery, device shipping, and hands-on reimaging can’t keep pace.
Recover compromised devices remotely and restore operations faster without waiting on logistics or users.
- Remote restoration: Isolate affected devices and restore them to a fully trusted, compliant state after outages, IT issues, or ransomware.
- No shipping, no hands-on touch: Eliminate the cost and delay of physically recalling devices during recovery.
- Resilient security controls: Automatically repair or reinstall critical controls like AV, EDR, and VPN clients if a user or malware disables them.
Absolute turns incident recovery from a prolonged crisis into a same-day operation.

Manual compliance reporting drains resources and leaves critical gaps — and in financial services, those gaps carry regulatory fines and reputational damage.
Switch to continuous, automated validation that closes compliance gaps and creates a permanent, audit-ready trail without the manual scramble.
- Continuous evidence collection: Generate ongoing device and control visibility to support reporting aligned with GLBA, PCI DSS, SOX, DORA, and internal benchmarks, on or off network.
- Patch and remediation support: Help keep remote employee devices updated and reduce exposure across distributed environments.
- Policy enforcement: Continuously enforce required configurations and automatically correct drift before it becomes a finding.
Move from manual compliance headaches to automated, audit-ready security.

What financial services leaders are saying
We soon discovered the performance benefits of Absolute Secure Access. We did an early rollout to our IT staff to help iron out any issues, but thanks to not requiring hardware, they were able to adjust configurations and get Absolute Secure Access up and running very quickly.
There are hardly any other IT companies with which we have worked so closely and successfully for more than 12 years. What started as a local solution for two offices in Germany has now become an integral part of the entire company. Absolute Security helps more than 1,200 employees work practically from anywhere every day.
