What Challenges Does the Industry Face for Financial Services Cybersecurity?
Implementing strong OT cybersecurity for financial institutions is necessary because of the way that technology has fundamentally changed bank systems and building equipment.
IoT Devices
Many modern security systems use cameras and sensors that allow remote access. Fire alarms also use the Internet of Things. Connectivity is helpful for monitoring, but your organization needs to ensure that interfaces are secure from other potential outside threats.
Power Generators
Financial institutions handling high volumes of transactions or trades often use backup power generators to maintain constant access to online platforms. Building energy systems are another area that should be secured against cyber threats.
Older Systems
Many financial institutions are trusted, long-established businesses that have been operational for decades. Our IT/OT integration analysis and segmentation services may help your company gain more control over each system’s security.

Frequently Asked Questions
decades of hands-on experience
in cybersecurity
The LeveL5Cyber Acquisition Integrations consulting service is designed to provide cybersecurity guidance to reduce the exposure to an organization during high-stress and high-visibility situations. Optimally started in the Valuation Analysis stage, this service can also provide value during the Due Diligence stage of M&A activities. Potential areas of focus include a risk assessment, identification and protection of intellectual property, optimal architecture design, and conformance with corporate standards.
From an IT perspective, a typical Merger or Acquisition integration project will last for six months or more. During M&A activities, there are questions raised and challenges to overcome. System integration, compatibility, interoperability, vendor management, and network overlap are just a few of the obstacles you will likely face. The team at LeveL5Cyber has decades of experience managing cybersecurity aspects of Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures from start to finish.
Ransomware is an ever-evolving form of malware designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering any files and the systems that rely on them unusable. Malicious actors then demand ransom in exchange for decryption. Ransomware actors often target and threaten to sell or leak exfiltrated data or authentication information if the ransom is not paid. Ransomware incidents can severely impact business processes and leave organizations without the data they need to operate and deliver mission-critical services. Ransomware incidents have become more destructive and impactful in nature and scope. The economic and reputational impacts of ransomware incidents, throughout the initial disruption and, at times, extended recovery, have also proven challenging for organizations large and small.
Ignoring the potential exposure introduced with a new IT ecosystem post-portfolio change can lead to increased risk of malware attacks, including ransomware, business email compromise and others. Additionally, acquisitions often include intellectual property (IP), which may have driven a premium in the cost. Misunderstanding and addressing the risks to the IP could lead to significant and rapid loss of value in an acquisition. Architectures and controls used to support mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures can be leveraged, saving costs, potentially reducing transition service agreement resources and improving efficiencies. Early and extensive understanding of the IT landscape will allow for appropriate funding and staffing expectations to meet synergy expectations. L5C has decades of experience working with F500 companies as they navigate these portfolio changes.
Level5Cyber brings our years of F500 cyber experience to our customers with focus on providing value oriented, right-sized services.
