FAQs

Questions? Answers

What is cryptography for financial services?

In banking and finance, cryptography secures transactions, data exchanges, and digital identities through encryption, key management, and digital certificates. It ensures the confidentiality and integrity of high-value financial data while meeting stringent regulatory requirements.

Why are NHIs relevant to Financial Services?

As the finance industry adopts SaaS and Agentic AI in order to speed up innovation and create more customer value, more and more applications and services interact by API calls. Each of these needs to be securely controlled to ensure sensitive data is protected. This relies on non-human identities, or NHIs, such as API keys and certificates. Keeping track of these, and checking they are properly protected, is now a vital task for Financial Services CISOs.
