Fintech Firm Accelerates Threat Detection

Customer Business Snapshot

This fintech company serves as a digital bridge between borrowers and India’s leading public and private sector banks. With a platform that enables loan approvals in under an hour, it simplifies access to financial services for MSMEs, individuals, and homebuyers. The firm has built strong partnerships with multiple financial institutions, offering loan products such as MSME loans, personal loans, home loans, and auto loans, with a focus on digitized document collection, AI-based risk profiling, and instant decisioning.

Given their scale, credibility, and commitment to transforming how credit is accessed in India, the organization must uphold strict application security standards and meet robust regulatory mandates from RBI and other financial regulators.

The Challenge

This fast-scaling fintech platform faced increasing cybersecurity pressure. On one side, they needed to secure rapidly evolving APIs and cloud-native applications that interface with regulated banks. On the other, they had to maintain continuous compliance with frameworks like RBI cybersecurity guidelines, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001, while preparing for emerging obligations such as Real-Time Threat Reporting (RTRR).

With a lean internal security team and over a dozen disconnected tools, the CISO needed:

Unified security visibility
Threat exposure management
Compliance mapping and enforcement

The Invinsense Solution

The fintech firm selected Invinsense as its strategic security partner, deploying the platform’s full stack across four core modules:

Invinsense XDR

Integrated SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and threat intelligence into a unified detection and response engine.
Correlated logs from application layer, API gateway, and infrastructure.

Impact:

63% faster mean time to detect and respond (MTTD/MTTR)
78% MITRE ATT&CK technique coverage across kill chain
41% reduction in alert fatigue using case management automation

Invinsense OXDR & CTEM Execution

Through the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) methodology, the firm moved beyond detection toward continuous validation and remediation of exposures:

Scoping	OXDR mapped all externally exposed assets, shadow APIs, and code vulnerabilities. Discovered 27% more assets than previously known.
Discovery	Automated vulnerability scans combined with manual red teaming revealed 164 exploitable paths. 52% of critical findings were unknown to prior tools.
Prioritization	Risk scores calibrated using business context, customer data sensitivity, and exploitability. Helped prioritize the top 11 vulnerabilities impacting the firm’s core banking API integrations.
Validation	Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) and CART validated real-world exploit paths. 38% of detected issues were proven exploitable within 2–5 steps of privilege escalation.
Mobilization	Purple team worked alongside developers and DevSecOps to remediate gaps. 89% of critical exposures closed within 30 days using remediation playbooks and patching pipelines.

Invinsense XDR+ Deception Deployment

Custom deception environments mimicking UPI endpoints and fake banking APIs were deployed, along with multiple honeynets to lure threat actors away from production.

Results:

4x improvement in lateral movement detection accuracy
36% increase in early-stage threat visibility pre-exploitation)
0 false positives from deception-based alerts over 90 days

Invinsense GSOS for Compliance Automation

Mapped compliance needs across:

RBI Cybersecurity Framework (2023)
PCI DSS 4.0
ISO/IEC 27001:2022

GSOS streamlined evidence collection, task ownership, audit documentation, and GRC alignment.

CTEM Outcome

72% reduction in validated exposures across internet-facing applications
3x faster time-to-remediation for critical flaws
95% of validated attack paths neutralized within first 45 days

Compliance Outcomes

87% faster internal audit preparation
92% coverage of RBI & PCI DSS controls mapped automatically
100% visibility on control ownership, reducing audit friction

Executive Quote

“Invinsense didn’t just help us respond to threats — it helped us see what we didn’t know we were exposed to, then close the loop. From red teaming to patching to compliance, we now run a security program built for clarity, speed, and accountability.”

Quantifiable Impact

Category	Improvement
Fraudulent Transaction Attempts	62%
Time to Detect Credential Attacks	to 3.2 minutes
Vulnerability Validation Speed	4.4x
Deception-Based Attacker Detection	5.8x
Regulatory Control Alignment	91%
Audit Readiness Cycle	from 21 to 6 days

Conclusion

For online retailers navigating high transaction volumes, seasonal traffic spikes, and stringent compliance standards, digital trust is essential. This e-commerce leader used Invinsense to transform its security from reactive response to proactive exposure management, protecting customers, partners, and revenue — even during the busiest sales days.
