FINASTRA
“ Finastra is a premium brand ,” says Eric . “ It was very exciting coming to the company and re-entering the fintech space , which sits at the intersection of regulatory requirements and rapid innovation .”
In his short time at the software company , continuously improving cybersecurity is something Eric and his team never cease to make great strides in .
Indeed , as a leading software company , Finastra already has a robust cybersecurity programme – industry regulations mean it must deliver safe and trustworthy products to its customers .
With threats ever evolving , however , cybersecurity is a continual journey , not a destination . And Eric has implemented a three-step plan to drive Finastra ’ s robust cybersecurity programme towards the future .
“ This includes strengthening our foundation , targeting risk reduction and differentiating our products in the marketplace .” says Eric .
He continues : “ When I talk about strengthening our foundation , this is no different than what any other organisations must continually strive for – continuous improvement through constant iteration and innovation .”
Traditionally , Finastra , like many other software companies , began as a commercial off-the-shelf productproducing company , but has focused on evolving them to be consumed in a software-as-a-service ( SaaS ) model . “ This rapid evolution in product software delivery means as a service provider , it is required that our products must always be resilient , safe and secure . To accomplish this , many of our internal process required optimisation as well .”
