From identity theft and data manipulation to financial fraud, there have been persistent hacking attacks on payment systems and other critical information systems and communication channels in the sector. This is prompting businesses to take a unified, proactive approach towards security, making it a common denominator for all their initiatives. While setting up new security initiatives, companies need to make sure that the initiatives will align with their requirement for providing a seamless customer experience. Customer expectations have remarkably matured today; and they are more concerned about information security, unbundled services, instant decision-making, and other service enhancements. There are several fintech start-ups that are counting on innovative technologies to replenish the aforementioned gaps including `point-solutions' for multifactor authentication and KYC verification. It's the time for financial executives to bank on IT to encourage game-changing innovation in core areas such as payments, credit scoring and billing, while taking care of the security implications. According to the report from MarketsandMarkets, the BFSI security market is estimated to grow from $30.23 Billion in 2016 to $48.95 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 10.1 percent. The report attributes this growth to an increasing adoption of cloud-based security solutions, enforcement of regulatory security compliance, and the increasing risk of cyber threats against BFSI infrastructure.In this scenario, a unique strategy that brings together strong security practices and the quintessential factors of the digital approach--automated processes, improved regulatory compliance, and revamped customer experience--will be the essential ingredient of success for companies in the BFSI sector.
