Case Study: Finastra secures APIs and reduces risk with Salt Security

Lessons from the FinTech Trenches Securing APIs at Finastra

Finastra, one of the world's largest FinTech companies, faced significant API security challenges. With its FusionFabric.cloud platform relying on APIs to connect banks with third-party services, the company needed to meet the high security standards of its financial institution customers and regulators. Their internal security tools were insufficient to stop sophisticated attacks, protect sensitive data, and identify malicious traffic, leading them to seek an external solution from vendor Salt Security.

Salt Security implemented its API Protection Platform to address Finastra's requirements. The solution provided deep context to discover APIs, prevent attacks, and eliminate vulnerabilities across the entire development lifecycle. Salt's hybrid approach kept all sensitive data within Finastra's own environment, meeting data privacy requirements. The platform integrated with Finastra's CI/CD pipeline and security workflows, providing the company with the ability to differentiate between normal and malicious traffic and stop account takeover attempts.
