Dubai, UAE : Group-IB, a leading innovator in predictive cybersecurity technologies for investigating, preventing, and combating digital crime, today announced that it has been awarded AWS Financial Software Competency certification. This recognition underscores Group-IB’s advanced technical expertise and deep understanding of the financial sector, along with its predictive solutions designed to protect financial institutions from evolving cyber threats. These solutions and services, including fraud protection, a cyber fraud intelligence platform, and digital forensics and incident response services, provide proactive and predictive defenses for banks, insurance companies, capital markets institutions, and payment service providers.

To achieve AWS certification for proficiency in financial software, Group-IB underwent a rigorous assessment process designed to measure technical excellence and the alignment of its solutions with the requirements of the financial sector.

Group-IB also showcased its successes through case studies of clients in the financial services sector, demonstrating tangible results in predictive fraud prevention and rapid incident response based on intelligence analysis. Furthermore, the company's solutions underwent independent evaluations by external auditors to verify performance, reliability, and security levels, ensuring compliance with the stringent requirements of financial institutions operating in highly regulated environments.

Commenting on this achievement, Dmitry Volkov, CEO of Group-IB, said: “ The AWS certification for excellence in financial software reflects Group-IB’s commitment to providing predictive, intelligence-driven cybersecurity solutions specifically designed for the financial sector. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, financial institutions can no longer rely solely on reactive defenses; they need proactive and predictive strategies. Our solutions enable banks, insurers, and payment service providers to anticipate threats, prevent fraud before it occurs, and respond to incidents quickly and accurately. Our AWS -based solutions also allow financial institutions to enhance their resilience, reduce risk, and operate securely in an increasingly complex digital environment.”

Fraud protection

• Comprehensive and predictive AI-powered protection : Group-IB's fraud protection solution provides advanced protection against online fraud, financial losses, and reputational damage, relying on advanced threat intelligence, machine learning, and behavioral analytics to predict, detect, and prevent threats in real time, including account takeovers, social engineering, and payment fraud.
• Accurate detection and seamless user experience : By analyzing user behavior, device characteristics, and network activity, the solution identifies abnormal patterns, suspicious behaviors, and emerging fraud trends, enabling effective differentiation between legitimate users and fraudsters while minimizing false alarms.
• Cloud-based multi-layered security with expert support : The solution is deployed on AWS to provide real-time threat intelligence and protection for web, mobile, and API applications, along with support from expert fraud analysts offering regional expertise and dedicated customer support.

Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform

• Reduced scope for PCI compliance and secure isolation : The Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform ( CFIP ) is deployed within a dedicated virtual private cloud environment to isolate cardholder data from the main environment, helping to reduce the scope for PCI compliance.
• A fully automated, headless operating architecture with no incoming user interface : The platform operates fully automated through API integrations and queuing systems, without the need for a graphical user interface, and relies on security policies based on the principle of "blocking all incoming communications" to achieve the highest levels of protection.
• Cooperative intelligence sharing to combat fraud : The platform enables the secure exchange of risk signals between different financial institutions, without disclosing raw sensitive data.

Incident response

• Rapid incident response led by expert specialists : Group-IP's incident response services provide rapid containment, investigation, and handling of cyber incidents, drawing on global expertise to help minimize business disruption and accelerate recovery.
• Advanced digital forensics and deep threat intelligence : The services combine advanced digital forensics and Group-IP’s threat intelligence to identify the root causes of incidents, track attacker activity, and detect indicators of compromise across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments.
• Comprehensive recovery and enhanced resilience : The services support organizations throughout the entire incident lifecycle, from detection and containment to recovery and strengthening defenses after an incident, helping financial services organizations strengthen their defenses and prevent future attacks.

Group-IP’s fraud protection solutions, cyber fraud intelligence platform, pre-contracted incident response services, and pre-contracted security support services are currently available through the AWS Marketplace , with plans to launch additional solutions on AWS in the coming period.
