Financial Services
Financial institutions no longer operate alone. They depend on fintechs, vendors, outsourced providers and AI agents. Every one of them needs access to something important.
CyberElements helps financial institutions govern that growing web of identities from one platform, with the visibility, traceability and control regulators expect.
Trusted by banks, insurers, financial operators and other critical stakeholders across Europe and beyond.
Status Quo
Modern finance runs on collaboration, which is a polite way of saying a lot of people outside the payroll now need access to sensitive systems. Fintechs, vendors and AI agents keep the business moving. They also make visibility, traceability and revocation much harder to manage manually.
Financial institutions are the second most targeted sector globally for cyberattacks. When access fails, the reputational damage compounds faster than any technical response can contain it. Clients leave. Regulators arrive.
Fintechs, integrators and outsourced teams all have good reasons to connect. The problem starts when each one arrives with its own access path, its own habits and its own idea of least privilege. Collaboration scales quickly. Control has to keep up the hard way.
Everyone likes the AI tool until someone asks what it can access. Financial teams are adopting automation quickly, often before security has mapped the permissions, data boundaries and accountability that should come with it.
Challenges
Most financial organisations already know their risks. Third-party access accumulates. Permissions outlive projects. Audit evidence lives in five different places. What DORA expects is for organisations to prove they remain in control of all of it, at any moment, with evidence ready to go.
Applications
Financial services have the same access headaches dressed in different outfits. Banks need proof, insurers need damage kept small and payment operators need partners to move fast without loose access. CyberElements governs them from one converging platform for every access need.

Benefits
Five capabilities that turn DORA compliance into a daily output, third-party access into a controlled process, and AI adoption into something the CISO can actually sleep through.
Use Cases
Three scenarios that define the security working week for financial IT and compliance teams, along with the regulatory and reputational exposure that comes with handling them manually.
DORA compliance and audit readiness
CyberElements records access events, approvals, privileged sessions and revocations as the team works. When the auditor asks who accessed what, when and why, the answer already exists. The audit meeting becomes a review, instead of a reconstruction project with everyone’s calendar on fire.
Third-party and fintech access
Give every third party access to the specific application, system or environment their work requires, for the exact time their work requires it. Sessions are opened through a controlled route, isolated and recorded. Actions are tied to one named identity. When the engagement ends, the access ends with it.
AI governance and agentic control
Control what each AI agent can reach, what financial data it can touch and what actions it can take on a user’s behalf. Useful, quick and occasionally a little too confident, AI agents need the same access rules as everyone else. Every automated action is logged, so AI adoption can happen with accountability.
Capabilities
Five CyberElements capabilities cover the access challenges financial institutions keep coming back to.
Control what each AI agent can reach, what financial data it can touch and what actions it can take on a user’s behalf. CyberElements keeps client data, trading information and proprietary models inside the approved boundary, with every automated action logged.
Give financial teams, remote staff and external partners access to the systems their work requires. Context-sensitive access replaces the VPN, so a compromised contractor credential cannot wander through core banking, insurance or payment infrastructure.
Monitor privileged access across core banking systems, insurance platforms, payment infrastructure and third-party connections. Lens, our platform’s AI session-control technology, analyses sessions in real time and can automatically block risky activity before it reaches client data or critical operations.
Did you know? In 2008, a European bank discovered around €50 billion in unauthorised trading exposure. The lesson for access governance is simple: old permissions, weak controls and unchecked authority can become a balance-sheet risk. CyberElements keeps access tied to current role, contract status and business need, so privileges move when people do.
Give financial staff one secure login across legacy systems, homegrown applications and modern SaaS tools. CyberElements’ AI-behavioural authenticator, Pulse, reduces repeated login checks, so teams spend less time proving who they are and more time getting the work done.

The platform generates a full audit trail across every access event as the team works. You can demonstrate who accessed what, when and why – on demand, without reconstruction.
Yes. Every third party connects through time-bound, application-level sessions tied to a named identity. Access is revoked automatically when the engagement ends, without a manual step.
CyberElements gives users secure access to legacy systems such as AS400 while leaving the underlying technology in place. Users authenticate through CyberElements, which then brokers the connection and injects the credentials required by the system.
Yes. CyberElements enforces which actions an AI agent can take for each user. It records what the agent was asked to do, which systems it accessed and the named user behind the original request.
No. CyberElements sits on top of existing infrastructure. Banking, insurance and payment operations continue without interruption during and after deployment.
PAM reduces the attack surface that penetration tests expose and insurers price. Several CyberElements clients in financial services have seen measurable reductions in premiums after deployment.
CyberElements can be deployed as a SaaS solution or on-premises. Teams can start with a production-ready instance in minutes, then connect their environment without a lengthy implementation programme.
One use case, one environment, 30 days. CyberElements is operational before the conversation with your insurer and well before the regulator’s next visit.
