The financial industry is undergoing major disruptions. One of these disruptions taking place is that financial institutions are increasingly opening up their services to third-parties. PSD2 in the EU is a great example of this. Besides the vast array of opportunities and innovation this will bring along, the industry must realize that security risks increase with it as well. Where financial industries used to control both the customer portal and the back-end services, in the new situation only the latter will be in their direct control. In most cases, their services will be exposed to the outside world through so-called Open APIs. In practice, this means that the services will be initiated from every possible (omni-channel) device and application. Currently, industry standards for securing these Open APIs are outside-in focused (e.g. SSL/TLS, https://, etc.) complemented with authentication protocols as OAuth2. As Irdeto has learned from other industries that have undergone comparable disruptions on openness before (e.g. media & entertainment), to have only outside-in security practices in place is insufficient to protect from the latest hacking techniques. Not to mention that they’ll meet the high security levels pursued by financial institutions in general.
