Securing the Infrastructure That Banking Depends On

Financial institutions are among the most targeted organizations in the world. Our security assessments find the gaps before attackers do.

Overview

Core banking systems sit at the center of an institution's most sensitive data and highest-value transactions — making them prime targets for cybercriminals.

Transact Academy provides vulnerability analysis, penetration testing, and remediation services designed specifically for financial technology environments — helping institutions identify weaknesses, understand real-world attack risk, and close gaps before they're exploited.

Our security services

01

Vulnerability analysis

Systematic identification of weaknesses across applications, networks, and infrastructure supporting core banking and digital channel environments — including misconfigurations, outdated components, and insecure integrations.

02

Penetration testing

Simulated, controlled attacks against your systems — including core banking platforms, digital banking channels, APIs, and payment infrastructure — to assess how a real adversary could exploit identified weaknesses. We test across web, mobile, internal networks, and external-facing infrastructure.

03

API & integration security testing

Given how heavily Temenos environments rely on API connectivity to third-party systems, we place particular focus on testing the security of these integration points — a common but often overlooked attack surface.

04

Social engineering & phishing simulation

Assessing human-layer vulnerabilities through controlled phishing and social engineering exercises, helping institutions understand and reduce risk arising from staff behavior.

05

Remediation support

Identifying a vulnerability is only half the job. We work with your technical teams to prioritize and remediate findings, providing clear, actionable guidance — and we retest to confirm fixes are effective.

06

Compliance-aligned security assessments

Structuring assessments to align with relevant regulatory and industry frameworks, helping institutions demonstrate due diligence to regulators, auditors, and partners.

Our approach

  1. 01

    Scoping & planning

    Defining the systems, applications, and attack scenarios in scope, ensuring testing is thorough without disrupting live operations.

  2. 02

    Assessment & testing

    Conducting vulnerability scans and manual penetration testing using current threat intelligence and attacker methodologies.

  3. 03

    Risk prioritization

    Ranking findings by real-world exploitability and business impact, not just technical severity scores.

  4. 04

    Reporting

    Delivering clear, actionable reports for both technical teams and executive stakeholders.

  5. 05

    Remediation & retesting

    Supporting your team through fixes and confirming that vulnerabilities have been effectively closed.

Why it matters

Regulators, customers, and partners increasingly expect financial institutions to demonstrate proactive security practices — not just react after an incident. Regular vulnerability analysis and penetration testing aren't just defensive measures; they're a core part of operational resilience and institutional trust.
