Strengthening Cybersecurity for a Fintech Corporation with Advanced CSOC Services

A leading digital payment and financial management solutions company based in Mumbai, India, faced rising cybersecurity threats. With sensitive financial information from over 5 million active users, the company required a robust Cyber Security Operation Center (CSOC) to enhance data security, address evolving threats, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
