Mart Networks, a cybersecurity distributor spanning Africa and the Middle East, has unveiled a comprehensive cybersecurity offering crafted to meet the unique and demanding needs of fintech companies. The solution is powered by Invinsense, the unified cybersecurity platform from Infopercept.
Recognising the distinct challenges faced by fintechs, Mart Networks’ new package delivers end-to-end security through managed services, deeply integrated within four core pillars of the Invinsense platform. The approach aims to provide fintechs with robust protection across their entire digital landscape.
The tailored security suite encompasses: Invinsense XDR + Managed Detection & Response which offers real-time vigilance against threats, swift incident response capabilities, and the flexibility to incorporate custom logs across crucial infrastructure, APIs, applications, and cloud environments.
Another one is the invinsense OXDR + Exposure Management. This provides continuous assessment of potential weaknesses, including vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, attack surfaces, and risks associated with third-party vendors.
Also, the invinsense GSOS + Security Compliance Management, which delivers comprehensive support to ensure adherence to both local Nigerian regulations and global compliance standards while cybersecurity awareness programs features integrated training modules designed to educate fintech teams on prevalent threats such as phishing, smishing, and vishing, thereby fostering a culture of cyber-resilience.
A key differentiator of this offering is its ability to provide deep visibility into the often custom-built applications and logs characteristic of fintech platforms. The Invinsense SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) system offers adaptable log ingestion and monitoring precisely aligned with the specific application logic and operational workflows of fintech companies.
Furthermore, the solution incorporates engineering-led remediation, with Infopercept’s expert engineering team actively delivering essential patches, code-level fixes, and infrastructure security enhancements to ensure rapid and effective threat neutralisation.
Addressing the critical area of cloud and SaaS security, the Invinsense platform provides full-stack protection encompassing CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform), API Security, CIEM (Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management), ASPM (Application Security Posture Management), CDR (Cloud Detection & Response), DevSecOps, and IaC scanning capabilities.
Moiz Maloo, Managing Director of Mart Networks, emphasized the critical nature of cybersecurity for the fintech sector, stating, “Fintech companies operate at the intersection of innovation and high-stakes regulation. Unlike traditional enterprises, they face immense scrutiny from regulators and enterprise clients, often banks or NBFCs making cybersecurity foundational to their business. Most fintechs don’t have the luxury of multiple internal security teams or system integrators. With this focused offering, we’re providing an all-in-one platform with managed services built specifically for the fintech environment.”
