The Challenge:
Scaling Security
Without Slowing Innovation

As the company expanded, traditional staffing vendors could not supply specialized cybersecurity talent fast enough. This created:

  • Hiring bottlenecks
  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Compliance exposure
  • Slower product innovation cycles

At the same time, multiple legacy systems limited product agility and delayed release cycles.

Key Challenges:
  • Prolonged hiring cycles for cybersecurity specialists
  • Infrastructure gaps increasing security risk
  • Compliance pressure in a regulated financial environment
  • Legacy architecture slowing product velocity
  • Growing demand for secure innovation at scale

The company needed a scalable fintech cybersecurity solution combined with accelerated product development capabilities.
