With the rise in cyberattacks at the forefront of the news on a near daily basis, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the role of risk management and security must be elevated throughout the financial services and banking markets. Physical and IT security leaders are shifting toward a more proactive approach to security than in years’ past to address and mitigate the latest emerging trends.
Security Breaches
Cybersecurity or data breaches can cost organizations millions of dollars, not to mention the loss of trust in the brand by consumers looking to them to protect their critical information. This is especially true in the financial services realm. In 2017, a ring of hackers called the Carbanak gang was discovered by the Kaspersky Lab, where it was reported the ring had stolen more than $1 billion from financial institutions around the globe.
As a result, more and more financial institutions are focusing their efforts on both physical and cyber security. Gartner reports that worldwide information security spending will reach $93 billion this year, while Cybersecurity Ventures predicts global spending on cybersecurity products and services will exceed $1 trillion leading up to 2021 – and this is just the beginning. As hackers become more sophisticated, so too should the security measures in place to thwart attacks. This includes increased spending on products that engage in constant vulnerability testing, bringing all stakeholders to the table to collaborate on solutions, and introducing innovative technology that helps mitigate fraud.
New Regulations
Regulations have a significant impact on how businesses manage data and security – especially in the financial sector – and data can be both an asset and a potential liability. The GDPR, a European effort to regulate how entities that do business with people protect their private information, provides a new set of data privacy rules far more extensive than ever seen before. It’s a complicated implementation that security leaders must look at carefully to ensure business continuity and compliance.
Whether located in the European Union (EU) or simply processing the data of subjects residing in the EU, financial institutions find themselves at the center of this legislation. Banks must work diligently to comply with the GDPR to avoid penalties that can reach up to 4 percent of the company’s entire global revenue. Additionally, users and installers must seek out vendors that understand the implications of the GDPR and its potential impact on security systems that store and access sensitive data.
Cloud-Based Solutions
Forward-thinking financial organizations are undergoing a seismic shift away from legacy systems toward new and emerging technologies, such as cloud-based solutions. Cisco predicts that by 2020, global cloud use will account for more than 92 percent of total data center traffic. This surge in adoption also represents a huge uptake in spending, which Gartner predicts will exceed $1 trillion in purchases dedicated to the cloud by 2020.
The cloud can deliver more agility and scalability for growing organizations, which can be ideal in the banking industry as satellite ATMs and new branches are added to a security plan. More and more businesses realize that leveraging the cloud is the most efficient way to solve emerging challenges. Today’s cloud-based technology can empower financial organizations to take a more proactive approach to security management, allowing information gathered about people and vehicle movement, for example, to be readily available and actionable for security leaders. Cloud-based solutions can deliver a range of advantages including greater security, more resilience, ease of mobile user support, flexibility, reduced costs and a greater user experience.
Remote Monitoring Capabilities
Modern technology has resulted in a society that is always connected. For the security industry, this means it is now possible to remotely monitor many locations from hundreds of miles away. Cloud-based solutions provide a unique advantage for security directors to streamline security system management and maintenance from anywhere at any time, managing multiple locations seamlessly from a unified interface.
Remote monitoring is a backbone feature of many solutions on the market today, allowing unparalleled flexibility for security directors to act quickly and efficiently in the event of a breach or emergency. This ability allows for the elimination of once laborious tasks, such as reporting, that are now available through the quick click of a button on mobile or desktop devices. Essentially, remote monitoring provides ease of use and convenience, which can be critical for today’s financial institutions and the security leaders that help protect them.
Fraud Mitigation
For a bank or credit union, the emergence of fraud and the amount of money lost to this threat is increasingly significant. As criminals become more sophisticated, financial institutions have to identify the best way to use time and money in an effort to mitigate the risk of fraudulent activity in their facilities.
The first step is bringing video surveillance and data management solutions together to integrate fully with access control and intrusion, creating a comprehensive approach to addressing emerging threats.
With so many challenges banking and financial institutions face, it’s critical to pay attention to the emerging trends that are guiding the safety and security of these businesses. Cloud-based solutions, remote monitoring and cybersecurity considerations are all gaining popularity in this vertical and it’s important to note that manufacturers and integrators must offer products and services that are in line with these needs.

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
