Catch leaked card data before it turns into fraud.
Financial institutions get targeted because of the data they handle. Cypho watches underground forums, dump sites and lookalike domains for anything tied to your bank, and checks the internet-facing systems your customers use. An analyst reviews each finding before it reaches your team.

Every banking function has its own weak spot.
Account management, payments, lending, fraud detection and compliance all carry different risks. Criminals only need one of them to work.
Card numbers and BINs get traded on underground forums, dump sites and marketplaces. Customer and staff credentials leak through phishing and malware. Lookalike domains and fake banking sites copy your customer portal, so people type their details into the wrong page.
Behind a lot of it are groups that focus on banks and fintechs: ransomware crews, fraud networks and credential-harvesting operations. The same forums carry talk of ATM configurations, POS terminal weaknesses and access to digital banking channels. Once a leak reaches customers, it is a fraud problem first and a regulatory one soon after.

What financial security teams ask us.
Do you only monitor the dark web?
No. We also cover the surface and deep web, including lookalike domains, social networks, Telegram channels and code repositories, and we monitor your own internet-facing assets.
How do you decide which vulnerabilities matter?
We combine CVSS with SVRS, so each CVE is ranked by how likely it is to be exploited as well as by severity. Each one is mapped to vendors and products, so you can see what it touches.
Who checks a finding before we see it?
One of our analysts. Every candidate goes into an in-review queue and is confirmed before it becomes an issue in your account.
Can we give leadership something other than raw alerts?
Yes. You can generate reports that summarize risks, emerging threats and response actions for executive and board readers.
