Overview
For financial institutions (FIs) and payments companies, identifying cybersecurity startups to partner with can be among the most challenging tasks inherent in network defense. Unlike large established vendors, smaller, younger firms have the agility required to build new products and services that rapidly meet changing technology risks.
However, they are generally niche players who focus on one specific industry problem and may not be able to meet the rigorous operational bars banks require. Instead of focusing on the size and the tenure of these innovative startups, FIs should consider focusing on an early-stage vendor's background, funding partners, and their approach to solving an FI's problem to understand the efficacy of that firm’s solution.
