Entersoft takes top spots at ET NET FinTech Awards
Entersoft emerged victorious as “Best Fintech Startup of 2017” and “Outstanding Application Security Solutions Provider” at the 2017 ET NET FinTech Awards for their proactive and offensive approach with DevSecOps, which assess applications for various security loopholes.
Mohan Gandhi, CEO at Entersoft, cited security in FinTech as a growing concern, with no markets more directly impacted by its rise than banks, payments and Blockchain. “Data from banks and other financial organisations is a premium target for hackers, offering clear incentives for their malicious attacks. With increasingly sophisticated hacks happening every day – putting more and more FinTechs at risk, we are working hard towards cyber security maturity for our customers. Our success is always measured by the security of our 50+ FinTech customers around the globe. Being a Cyber security company, to win Best Fintech of the year is a thrilling and exciting time for us. This only shows the need for proactive security in FinTechs”, he said.
“Our approach is a combination of offensive assessment, proactive monitoring and pragmatic managed security which provides highly cost effective and reliable solutions to some of the most pressing problems in an elegant manner,” he added.
