Challenges
What makes securing the banking sector so difficult
The banking world is under constant fire from cybercriminals, regulation, and legacy IT. Four challenges make privileged access especially critical.
Sensitive financial data
Highly sensitive data, highly attractive target
Banks manage vast amounts of sensitive financial and customer data, making them a prime target for cybercriminals. Without robust protection for privileged access, they face the constant threat of data breaches and theft.
External Access: Granular, agentless, and without coordination chaos
Internal Access Management: Secure and simplify work from anywhere
Built for Zero Trust: Easily implement all building blocks such as Multi-Factor Authentication and Just-in-Time access
Always traceable: Automated compliance reporting, tamper-proof recordings, and audit trails
Privileged accounts are the most common entry point
Data breaches often go undetected for months
Reputational and financial risks in the millions
Third-Party & Insider Access
Service providers and insiders increase the attack surface
External service providers and internal administrators require extensive access to critical systems. Any permanent privileged access represents an additional risk.
External Access: Granular, agentless, and without coordination chaos
Internal Access Management: Secure and simplify work from anywhere
Built for Zero Trust: Easily implement all building blocks such as Multi-Factor Authentication and Just-in-Time access
Always traceable: Automated compliance reporting, tamper-proof recordings, and audit trails
Permanent permissions and shadow access
Little transparency regarding who is accessing what and when
Insider abuse is difficult to detect
Legacy & Hybrid IT
Legacy systems, complex security
Traditional core banking systems meet modern cloud services. Securing this hybrid landscape consistently is nearly impossible without a specialized solution.
External Access: Granular, agentless, and without coordination chaos
Internal Access Management: Secure and simplify work from anywhere
Built for Zero Trust: Easily implement all building blocks such as Multi-Factor Authentication and Just-in-Time access
Always traceable: Automated compliance reporting, tamper-proof recordings, and audit trails
Heterogeneous protocols: RDP, SSH, HTTPS, mainframe
Inconsistent control across systems
Real-time threats require comprehensive monitoring
Compliance pressure
Strict and constantly evolving regulations
PCI-DSS, DORA, GDPR, BAIT, and MaRisk require detailed audit logs and strict access control. Manual documentation ties up resources and is prone to error.

FAQ
Answers to the most frequently asked questions in the financial sector.
What is Remote Privileged Access Management (Remote PAM) with VISULOX?
Remote Privileged Access Management (Remote PAM) controls and protects privileged access to IT systems from remote locations — by administrators, external service providers, or partners. VISULOX implements this approach consistently: access is managed centrally, granted on a time-limited basis, uniquely assigned to an individual, and fully documented. Direct connections to the target infrastructure are technically prevented. This ensures control, traceability, and security at all times.
How does VISULOX differ from classic VPN or PAM solutions?
Conventional VPN solutions grant broad network access without fine-grained control. Classic PAM solutions are often complex, costly, and designed primarily for internal users. VISULOX combines the advantages of both approaches: a gateway architecture without direct network access, time-limited just-in-time access, complete session recording, and an agentless architecture. The result: maximum control with minimal administrative effort — purpose-built for secure external access.
How does VISULOX support a Zero Trust strategy?
VISULOX implements Zero Trust consistently: no user has standing access rights — permissions are granted only when needed, based on the least-privilege principle (just-in-time access). Direct network connections are technically prevented through a protocol break. Every session is fully recorded and uniquely assigned to a single individual. This creates a zero-standing-privileges model that also securely integrates external service providers and partners.
Why does VISULOX have a lower total cost of ownership (TCO)?
VISULOX is ready to use within a few days — without complex implementation projects and without changes to endpoints. Its agentless architecture significantly reduces maintenance effort. Licensing by concurrent users avoids hidden costs. Together with integrated German-language support and the avoidance of costs from security incidents, VISULOX demonstrably reduces complexity and operating costs.
Is VISULOX suitable for enterprise environments?
Remote Privileged Access Management (Remote PAM) governs and secures privileged access to IT systems from remote locations — by administrators, external service providers, or partners. VISULOX implements this approach consistently: access is granted centrally, time-limited, uniquely assigned to an individual, and fully documented. Direct connections to the target infrastructure are technically prevented, ensuring control, traceability, and security at all times.
