Customer information, transactions, and trust — protected

HTS helps financial institutions and financial-service providers strengthen cybersecurity with layered controls for endpoints, identities, data, third parties, monitoring, response, and recovery.

A complex threat environment

Financial services combine sensitive information with valuable transactions

That combination makes financial organizations a persistent target for account takeover, wire fraud, ransomware, credential theft, and data extortion.

The impact may include direct financial loss, customer notification, legal expenses, regulatory scrutiny, business interruption, reputational damage, and increased insurance costs.

Common threats

Account takeover, business email compromise, ransomware, customer data theft, privileged-account abuse, vulnerable systems, third-party compromise, insider misuse, and cloud misconfiguration.

US regulatory landscape

Requirements depend on activities, regulators, registrations, size, and location

FTC / GLBA

FTC Safeguards Rule

Covered financial institutions must maintain a written information-security program addressing risk assessments, access controls, inventories, encryption, MFA, application security, logging, testing, training, service providers, incident response, and management reporting.

SEC / FINRA

Regulation S-P and FINRA obligations

Covered firms need safeguards and incident-response programs designed to detect, respond to, and recover from unauthorized access to or use of customer information. Smaller entities reached the amended Regulation S-P compliance date on June 3, 2026.

Public companies

SEC cybersecurity disclosures

Public companies generally must disclose material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K within four business days after determining materiality and describe risk management and governance in annual reports.

New York

NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation

Covered entities under 23 NYCRR Part 500 face requirements involving governance, risk assessment, technical safeguards, incident reporting, and annual compliance submissions.
