Cybersecurity serves as the backbone of the fintech landscape
Cybersecurity serves as the backbone of the fintech landscape, enabling secure transactions, protecting consumer interests, and ensuring compliance with regulations. As the sector continues to evolve, the integration of cutting-edge cybersecurity strategies will be crucial in sustaining growth and maintaining trust in digital financial services, according to experts. Industry executives and cybersecurity specialists said cybersecurity plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the burgeoning fintech sector, which encompasses a range of technologies transforming financial services, from mobile banking to blockchain and cryptocurrency applications. 'As fintech companies innovate and expand, they become attractive targets for cybercriminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities for financial gain. Hence, robust cybersecurity measures are essential to prevent disruptions that can result from data breaches, fraud, or system outages,' say the experts. Cyber Resilience Subhalakshmi Ganapathy, Chief IT Security Evangelist at ManageEngine, said cybersecurity is not just a compliance requirement, but the foundation of financial stability in the UAE's rapidly evolving fintech landscape. 'With digital banking and cryptocurrency adoption surging, the attack surface is expanding, making robust security frameworks essential to preventing financial disruptions,' Ganapathy told BTR. Referring to Statista data, she said the UAE's cryptocurrency market is expected to reach 3.78 million users by 2025, with a penetration rate of 39.13%. 'Regulatory initiatives like the Financial Infrastructure Transformation (FIT) programme and Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (Vara) demonstrate the country's commitment to cyber resilience,' she said. However, she said financial institutions must go beyond regulations, proactively addressing threats such as ransomware, supply chain vulnerabilities, and crypto-specific risks. 'Given the UAE's global financial influence, a single cyber incident could have widespread repercussions. I believe public-private partnerships that integrate regulation with technological innovation are key to ensuring cybersecurity remains a business enabler, not an afterthought,' Ganapathy said. Backbone of Trust Ezzeldin Hussein, Regional Senior Director, Solution Engineering, META, SentinelOne, said cybersecurity is the backbone of trust in the UAE's rapidly growing fintech ecosystem, especially with the rise of digital banking and cryptocurrencies. 'As cyber threats become more sophisticated, financial institutions must proactively defend against fraud, data breaches, and ransomware attacks that could disrupt services and erode consumer confidence,' Hussein told BTR. 'Robust security frameworks, including AI-driven threat detection, zero-trust architecture, and blockchain security enhancements, are essential in mitigating risks. Regulatory compliance, such as adherence to UAE Central Bank guidelines and global security standards, also plays a crucial role in ensuring resilience,' he said. Beyond technology, he said continuous cybersecurity awareness among users and financial professionals is vital. 'Attackers often exploit human vulnerabilities, making education and vigilance just as important as technical defenses. Strong cybersecurity measures don't just prevent financial disruptions, but also enable innovation and long-term growth in the UAE's fintech sector by ensuring a secure and resilient digital financial landscape,' Hussein said. Data Protection, Regulatory Compliance Analysts and IT experts opine that cybersecurity facilitates stability in fintech by protecting sensitive financial data. 'Fintech firms handle personal and transactional data, which if compromised, can lead to identity theft, financial losses, and a loss of consumer trust. Implementing encryption, secure authentication protocols, and regular security audits helps protect against unauthorised access and ensures that customer data remains confidential and intact,' says an expert. In addition to protecting data, he said cybersecurity also aids in compliance with regulatory frameworks that govern financial transactions. 'With regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), fintech companies must adhere to strict security guidelines. A strong cybersecurity posture not only helps avoid costly fines but also demonstrates a commitment to consumer protection and ethical business practices.' Furthermore, proactive cybersecurity strategies, including incident response planning and continuous monitoring, are vital in swiftly addressing potential threats and vulnerabilities. 'By investing in cybersecurity technologies and fostering a culture of security awareness among employees, fintech companies can significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks and subsequent financial disruption,' according to an IT specialist.

While this is a part of a global trend, in this region, we're particularly observing a sharp rise in state-sponsored cyberattacks, as well as ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS). The sophisticated threats are evolving rapidly, making them harder to detect and defend against. At the same time, there's a growing awareness around supply chain vulnerabilities, which are now seen as critical risk vectors that organisations can no longer afford to overlook. Additionally, the broader adoption of cloud infrastructure, especially local cloud solutions, is a positive development, but at the same time it introduces new complexities from a security perspective. All these factors combined are driving demand for more unified and proactive security solutions. Organisations are now looking beyond traditional defenses and seeking integrated platforms that can help them detect, respond to, and mitigate threats across their entire ecosystem in real time. These trends are pushing businesses to rethink their strategies and adopt a more holistic approach to security. What are some of the biggest challenges organisations in the Middle East are facing when it comes to cybersecurity, and how is ManageEngine helping them address these issues? There are multiple challenges in today's cybersecurity landscape. One major issue is the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, which continues to impact organisations across the region. Another key challenge lies in managing and maintaining hybrid infrastructure environments, which add layers of complexity to security operations. However, the most critical gap right now is the fragmented nature of existing security solutions. Many organisations still operate in silos, with disconnected tools and systems that don't communicate effectively. This fragmentation makes it extremely difficult to gain a unified view of threats and respond efficiently. This is exactly where ManageEngine is focusing its efforts by building a unified security platform. We're working across our entire product portfolio to address these gaps. Whether it's Privileged Access Management (PAM), Security Information And Event Management (SIEM), or unified endpoint security, our goal is to bring everything together onto one comprehensive secure platform. This will help organisations simplify their security operations, improve visibility, and strengthen their overall cybersecurity posture. Could you elaborate on ManageEngine's theme at GISEC Global 2025 and what specific innovations or solutions you showcased during the event? Today, AI is no longer just a buzzword or a 'good to have,' it's become an essential part of any organisation's cybersecurity strategy. We've been integrating AI into our solutions for quite some time, not just in the cybersecurity domain but across our entire product portfolio. From a GISEC 2025 perspective, our focus is on encouraging organisations to adopt a unified security portfolio. We want to help them consolidate their tools and gain clearer visibility into their threat landscape. Our aim is to show how AI-powered insights from our solutions can enhance threat detection, provide a deeper understanding of potential vulnerabilities, and offer a more proactive approach to cybersecurity.

ManageEngine Enhances Its Unified PAM Platform
ManageEngine has announced that it has added AI-powered enhancements—featuring intelligent least privilege access and risk remediation policy recommendations—to its privileged access management platform, PAM360. A new privileged task automation module enabled by Qntrl, Zoho's unified workflow orchestration platform, has also been introduced. Together, these newly added capabilities help enterprises automate enterprise-wide administrative routines, enforce least privilege at scale with intelligent, context-aware controls and reduce security risks through automated remediation. AI-Governed Least Privilege Access Traditional PAM models, which rely on static policies and manual processes, often operate without sufficient context. This can result in excessive permissions, entitlement drift, and configuration errors. To address these challenges, organizations should adopt an adaptive, context-driven approach to privileged access management—one that leverages AI to enable dynamic, risk-based access control. In fact, according to ManageEngine's 2024 Identity Security Insights, 68% of the respondents are looking for AI-driven improvements in risk-based access control. 'Today's hybrid, multi-cloud environments have led to an explosion of human and non-human identities, creating complex access workflows and rampant privilege sprawl. To tackle this, organizations require dynamic policies that can intelligently enforce the principle of least privilege across their identity stack. With the AI-driven CIEM module in PAM360, IT security teams can now generate intelligent least privilege policies, proactively flag risky entitlements and automate remediation, helping enterprises close critical identity security gaps before they're exploited,' said Ramanathan Kannabiran, director of product management at ManageEngine. PAM360's CIEM module now features AI-generated least privilege policies, automated remediation of shadow admin risks and real-time access and session summaries. These AI-driven capabilities help organizations proactively tackle access sprawl and misconfigurations in hybrid environments with minimal manual effort. Orchestrating Privileged Operations With Zero-Touch Controls Business workflows that leverage RPA and script-based automation often rely on manual access provisioning, resulting in delayed execution and increased overheads, leading to potential security gaps. Modern IT teams need dynamic controls that can streamline on-demand access within these automated workflows and strengthen the security posture of the organization. According to Kannabiran, 'Privileged task automation in PAM360 eliminates the need for administrators to manually grant and revoke necessary access privileges for every automated routine. Access is provisioned just in time, based on the task context, and revoked automatically once the task ends. This not only preserves admin bandwidth, but also reduces the risk of privilege misuse caused by excessive or standing access.' Powered by Qntrl, PAM360 brings native automation capabilities that eliminate the need for third-party tools. Its deep integration within the Zoho ecosystem enables seamless orchestration of privileged access workflows enhancing efficiency without compromising security. PAM360 streamlines vendor access with automated onboarding and offboarding, provisions ephemeral, just-in-time access with fine-grained, time-bound controls, and ensures a secure, hands-free transfer of privileged data delivering speed, consistency and reduced risk across the board. 0 0
