Providing advanced protection to the world’s largest financial institutions

Financial institutions operate complex, distributed environments where attackers blend into normal administrative activity and traditional tools generate overwhelming alert volumes. Banks face sophisticated threats including credential abuse, insider misuse, and targeted ransomware that exploit this complexity. CounterCraft addresses these challenges by detecting attacker behavior during reconnaissance and lateral movement phases—before they reach payment systems, customer data, or core banking infrastructure. This early visibility is critical in environments where minutes of downtime can cost millions and regulatory consequences are severe.

CounterCraft deploys realistic decoy assets that mirror financial systems and infrastructure. When attackers interact with these assets, the platform captures behavioral intelligence that reflects real attacker intent. This gives security teams clearer visibility into threats that would otherwise blend into normal activity. Find out how deception powers preemptive cybersecurity with a demo.

Deception assets are isolated from production systems but appear authentic to attackers. Interaction with these assets signals real compromise rather than scanning or noise. This allows financial organizations to detect lateral movement, insider activity, and unauthorized access before core systems are impacted.

Yes. CounterCraft strengthens detection and response controls that are required by many financial regulations. The intelligence it provides supports frameworks such as GDPR, PCI DSS, FFIEC guidance, and regional banking regulations by improving visibility and incident evidence.

CounterCraft integrates with existing SOC workflows and security tooling. Threat intelligence from attacker interactions can be shared with SIEM and SOAR systems to enrich investigations. This reduces alert noise while preserving existing investments.

Deception assets are not accessed during normal business operations. If an internal user or compromised account interacts with these assets, it indicates suspicious activity. This allows teams to identify insider risk or credential misuse with high confidence.

Once deception assets are deployed and aligned with the environment, attacker interactions are captured immediately. Financial security teams often gain actionable insight within days. This supports faster detection and earlier response without long tuning cycles.

Security operations teams, incident responders, and threat intelligence teams benefit directly from early and reliable detection. Risk and compliance teams gain clearer evidence for reporting and audits. Leadership benefits from reduced exposure and improved operational confidence.

These frameworks require banks to demonstrate resilience against advanced attacks through testing and continuous detection. They emphasize understanding attacker behavior, not just compliance checklists. CounterCraft supports these requirements by providing real attacker interaction data.

Compliance requires strong detection, monitoring, and response capabilities. Organizations must show they can identify threats early and act on them. Deception-driven intelligence helps meet these expectations by providing clear evidence of malicious activity.

Yes. Deception technology supports PCI DSS by improving detection of unauthorized access and suspicious activity. It provides early warning when attackers probe systems connected to payment environments. This strengthens monitoring and incident response controls.
