Threat Landscape

What financial services security teams investigate every day

The attack patterns your SOC handles manually right now. Alaris detects, investigates, and responds to every one of them automatically.

Payment Rail Fraud & Ransomware

Targeted attacks on SWIFT and ACH infrastructure use automation to evade detection and maximize impact on transaction systems before settlements complete.

Insider Threats & Privilege Abuse

Malicious insiders and compromised privileged accounts exfiltrate customer data or manipulate transaction records, often operating undetected for months inside trusted systems.

Nation-State APT Campaigns

Persistent threats targeting financial market infrastructure and trading systems for intelligence gathering, market manipulation, or strategic disruption on behalf of state actors.

Alaris in Action

How Alaris protects financial services

Real attack scenarios. Automated response. This is what happens the moment a threat hits your environment.

Scenario 01

Unauthorized SWIFT transaction injection

A compromised operator account is used outside business hours to initiate a series of high-value SWIFT transfers. The session passes MFA because the attacker has the stolen token.

Alaris Response
  • 1
    Session behavior flagged as anomalous against operator baseline
  • 2
    High-risk transaction pattern detected and escalated immediately
  • 3
    Session terminated and account locked before transfers clear
  • 4
    Full forensic timeline captured for regulatory incident reporting
< 2 min to contain
Scenario 02

Privileged analyst quietly exfiltrating client data

A senior analyst begins exporting client portfolio data in unusual volumes during off-hours. The pattern is consistent with pre-resignation exfiltration and has been ongoing for six days.

Alaris Response
  • 1
    Behavioral drift from role baseline detected on day one of anomalous activity
  • 2
    Data movement rate flagged and export sessions suspended
  • 3
    All accessed records enumerated and preserved for compliance review
  • 4
    HR and legal alert generated with complete evidence package
< 90s to contain
Scenario 03

APT living off the land inside trading infrastructure

A nation-state group has been present in the trading network for two weeks using only legitimate admin tools. No malware signature exists. The goal is mapping market data flows.

Alaris Response
  • 1
    Anomalous use of built-in tools detected via behavioral graph analysis
  • 2
    Lateral movement path reconstructed across the full attack timeline
  • 3
    All compromised endpoints isolated and threat actor TTPs mapped to MITRE
  • 4
    Network segmentation applied to trading systems pending full remediation
< 3 min to contain
