How to Build a Secure Financial Services Platform

Secure Your Financial Platforms in the Kubernetes Era

Summary

Financial services address unique challenges like balancing regulatory compliance, maintaining visibility across dynamic environments, and securing sensitive transactions happening within fleeting workloads.

This solution brief outlines a strategic approach to building a secure platform tailored to the specific demands of financial services.

A case study at the end of this document focuses on a real-world financial services user (PostFinance) building a secure Kubernetes platform leveraging Cilium’s network security features.

Build better, faster, and more secure financial services backends on Kubernetes.

Financial services is often riddled with risk, and with cloud-native environments becoming the norm, the need for a secure, resilient platform to control that risk is more critical than ever.

Over 10+ pages of details covering:

• Understanding security risks in multi-cloud financial environments.
• Identifying the right ways to own and manage your Kubernetes security infrastructure.
• Best practices for implementing robust security policies.
• How to future-proof your platform for cloud-native adoption.
