Complete visibility across the entire modern network (including on-prem data centers, campuses, IoT, OT, identity, and cloud) and the ability to respond to attacks quickly are critical for maintaining operational continuity in financial institutions. Modern network protection must provide coverage, clarity, and control. Below is a list of key capabilities financial institutions should consider when selecting a network protection solution:
1. Coverage: Real-Time Visibility
Financial institutions require high-performance network protection with threat detection across all network traffic, metadata, and packets, as well as cloud logs and cloud packets. This means a comprehensive log of all communications on the network (including identities and cloud), recording the “who, what, when, where” of each session. Full-fidelity data on connections and payloads in real-time is also essential.
2. Clarity: Real-Time Detection and Prioritization
Protection must extend beyond the perimeter, with AI-based detection and AI assistants that consolidate attack telemetry across the network, identify malicious activity, and help analysts prioritize incidents for response.
3. Control: Investigation and Response
A solution must offer integrated investigation within attack context, built-in and integrated response/isolation mechanisms, and managed services for 24/7 network monitoring.
How Vectra AI Helps Financial Institutions
Real-Time Attack Coverage
Vectra AI eliminates blind spots by detecting attacker telemetry across the modern network, including cloud and identities. The platform covers all hosts in on-prem and cloud environments (even air-gapped), reducing risk by 50%.
Vectra AI uses AI to detect all network traffic and display detailed information (protocols, source and destination IP addresses, etc.), allowing precise identification of suspicious activity.
Both north-south and east-west traffic are monitored, ensuring complete visibility in zero-trust environments.
Clear Signal, Not Noise
Vectra AI consolidates metadata and delivers clear security signals via AI assistants that automatically analyze, correlate, and prioritize modern threats.
AI reduces alert noise by 99% by focusing on true telemetry rather than just anomalies. Even complex multi-step threats—such as attacks on Lambdas or access to sensitive parameters in SSM—are detected.
AI assistants highlight truly critical threats by identifying behavioral patterns that indicate real attacks—without needing to trust third-party systems with private keys.
Intelligent Control
Vectra AI enables security teams to detect, investigate, and stop attacks at all stages and across any environment thanks to integrated, embedded, and managed response mechanisms.
With an agentless approach, it’s possible to monitor up to 300,000 hosts simultaneously (versus 16,000 with other vendors), greatly enhancing SOC efficiency. Vectra AI also provides prebuilt queries for incident analysis via a unified interface.
Over 100 built-in integrations allow investigation and threat blocking at any stage without scripting.
The solution complies with FFIEC, NYSDFS, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, SEC, FINRA, GLBA, and more, ensuring compliance in complex multi-component architectures.
What’s Next?
Vectra AI is a leader in hybrid AI-powered threat detection. Its platform spans the cloud, SaaS apps, identity systems, and infrastructure both on-premises and in the cloud. Organizations worldwide rely on Vectra AI to defend against ransomware, supply chain compromises, identity theft, and other cyber threats.
