Cybersecurity Solutions for Banks

Core banking systems, online and mobile banking, and open banking APIs sit at the center of your customers' financial lives—and at the top of every attacker's target list. Secure your institution with HackenProof's cybersecurity solutions for banks—bug bounty, penetration testing, and vulnerability disclosure programs—built to catch what scanners and generic pentests miss, before regulators, customers, or attackers do.

Banks Carry The Weight of Legacy Systems And Modern Threats At Once

Banks operate some of the most tightly regulated, highest-value, and longest-lived technology stacks in any industry—core banking platforms that have been extended for decades, layered with modern online banking, mobile apps, and open banking APIs. That combination of legacy infrastructure and modern attack surface creates gaps that neither an annual audit nor an automated scanner reliably catches.

01
Regulatory pressure
PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, Basel III, FFIEC, DORA, and MiCA increasingly expect continuous testing, not a once-a-year checkbox
02
High-value targets
Deposit accounts, payment rails, and core banking logic are directly monetizable, making banks a priority for both opportunistic and organized attackers
03
Legacy + modern attack surface
Core banking systems built over decades now sit behind modern online banking, mobile apps, and open banking APIs, and testing has to cover both layers, not just the newest one

Why Banking Teams Choose HackenProof

Researchers who understand banking systems

Our community includes researchers experienced in core banking, online/mobile banking, and open banking APIs—not just generic web app testing. They know where financial logic breaks, not just where forms are unvalidated, and use AI to map vulnerability vectors.

A "money is on the line" mindset, not a checklist

HackenProof's roots are in securing systems where a single missed bug means direct financial loss—not just data exposure. That rigor carries directly into how we approach core banking integrations, payment rails, and account APIs.

Compliance-ready reporting

Every engagement produces documentation mapped to what your auditors and regulators expect—clear severity ratings, retest confirmation, and reports formatted for PCI DSS, SOC 2, and internal risk reviews.

Bug Bounty for Banks

Continuous testing that scales with your attack surfaceLaunch a public or private bug bounty program and get year-round coverage from a global pool of security researchers actively looking for the vulnerabilities that matter—authentication bypass, business logic flaws, payment manipulation, and more. Pay only for valid, verified findings.

Best for: banks with a live, frequently updated online and mobile banking attack surface.

Penetration Testing for Banks

Point-in-time, compliance-grade assessmentsStructured, scoped penetration tests covering core banking systems, web apps, mobile apps, APIs, and infrastructure—mapped to the frameworks your auditors expect. Get a clear, actionable report with severity ratings and remediation guidance, backed by researchers who specialize in banking and payment systems.

Best for: institutions that need a defined engagement for a compliance deadline, regulatory exam, or new product launch.

Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) for Banks

A safe, structured channel for external researchers to report issuesGive ethical hackers and customers a clear, legally safe way to report vulnerabilities—before they end up on social media or in the wrong hands. A public VDP signals security maturity to regulators, partners, and customers alike, and is often a lower-cost first step before a full bug bounty program.

Best for: banks that need a public-facing disclosure channel for compliance or trust reasons.

AI-Powered Vulnerability Validation for Banks

Faster, more accurate triage—without losing human reviewHackenProof uses AI to accelerate vulnerability validation, cutting duplicate and low-signal reports so your team sees high-impact findings sooner. A delayed fix on a payment or account flaw carries real financial risk—faster validation means faster remediation, without sacrificing human review.

Best for: banking security teams that need to cut noise and speed up time-to-fix across a high volume of reports.

Whitelabel Vulnerability Coordination Platform for Banks

Standalone solution branded specifically for your businessA fully white-labeled vulnerability coordination platform, built with all the core features your bank needs to manage disclosure and remediation under your own brand—giving you the infrastructure of a mature security program without building it in-house.

Best for: banks that want to run their own branded vulnerability coordination program rather than a HackenProof-branded one.
