A new cybersecurity solution has been launched for financial technology companies in Africa and the Middle East to offer protection and regulatory compliance without the need for extensive in-house security teams.
This managed service aims to deliver enterprise-level security from the outset, addressing the unique needs of fast-moving fintech businesses.
Mart Networks, a cybersecurity distributor across Africa and the Middle East, has introduced this specialised security offering. The service is powered by Invinsense, Infopercept’s unified cybersecurity platform, and is delivered as a fully managed service.
Fintech start-ups often handle sensitive customer data and face intense scrutiny from regulators and banking partners. The Invinsense platform bundles essential security components, including threat detection, compliance management, cloud security, and continuous expert support, into a single package.
This service offers several key benefits. It provides real-time threat detection and response through Invinsense XDR, which continuously monitors infrastructure, APIs, applications, and cloud workloads to prevent the spread of attacks.
Continuous exposure management is also a core feature, utilising automated scans to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and risky third-party connections, while guiding quick fixes. Furthermore, built-in compliance helps fintechs adhere to local and global standards such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, and CBK guidelines with pre-mapped controls.
The solution also supports developer-friendly remediation, with Infopercept engineers providing patches and code-level fixes to ensure secure release cycles.
For full-stack cloud security, Invinsense covers a wide range of areas, including CNAPP, API security, CIEM, ASPM, and DevSecOps, from code to production. Finally, human-centric cyber awareness is fostered through phishing simulations and micro-learning modules, aiming to empower every employee as a first line of defense.
