Group-IB strengthens banking growth with AWS recognition
Sun, 24th May 2026 (Today)
Group-IB has obtained the AWS Financial Services Competency designation, which covers its work with banking, insurance, and payments customers.
Amazon Web Services awards the designation to partners that meet sector-specific technical and operational criteria. The assessment covered Group-IB's architectures, security controls, and operating practices against AWS standards, as well as financial services customer case studies and an independent third-party audit.
The recognition applies to several products and services used by financial institutions, including Fraud Protection, the Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform and Digital Forensics and Incident Response. They are aimed at banks, insurers, capital markets firms, and payment processors dealing with fraud, cyberattacks, and regulatory pressure.
Validation process
The review tested whether Group-IB's systems aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework and sector expectations for firms operating in tightly regulated environments. It also required evidence of performance, reliability, and security, as well as examples of use by financial-sector customers.
The process matters because cloud providers and their partners face scrutiny from financial institutions, which typically demand clear evidence of resilience, controls and incident handling before adopting external security tools. Buyers often use competency designations to shortlist specialist suppliers for cloud-based deployments.
Group-IB's Fraud Protection product is designed to identify online fraud threats, such as account takeover, social engineering, and payment fraud, by analysing user behaviour, device attributes, and network activity. The system is deployed on AWS and is intended to protect web and mobile applications, as well as application programming interfaces.
The Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform, or CFIP, is designed to run inside a dedicated virtual private cloud, helping isolate cardholder data from the main environment and potentially reducing the scope of PCI compliance. Group-IB said the product uses API and queue integrations rather than a graphical interface and operates under a deny-all-inbound model.
The company also highlighted CFIP's collaborative features, which allow financial institutions to exchange risk signals without sharing raw sensitive data. Information-sharing has become a growing focus for banks and payments groups as fraud patterns spread quickly across markets and channels.
Sector focus
Digital forensics and incident response formed another part of the assessment. Group-IB said its incident response work combines forensic investigation with threat intelligence to identify the root cause of attacks, trace intruder activity and support recovery after a breach.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Singapore, Group-IB has built much of its business around cybercrime investigations, fraud prevention and intelligence services. It operates Digital Crime Resistance Centres across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Central Asia and the Asia-Pacific.
Financial institutions remain among the sectors most targeted by cybercrime, with attackers focusing on payment systems, customer accounts and third-party service providers. That has driven demand for tools that can detect fraudulent behaviour early, isolate compromised systems, and support post-incident investigations.
Demand has also been shaped by the continued migration of banks, insurers and payments firms to cloud infrastructure. As more sensitive workloads move into hosted environments, security vendors increasingly seek formal recognition from major cloud providers to strengthen their standing with customers in regulated sectors.
Group-IB said its Fraud Protection, Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform and Incident Response Retainer are available through AWS Marketplace. Cloud marketplace listings have become a common route for cybersecurity vendors to reach procurement teams that want software purchasing, billing and deployment tied to existing cloud contracts.
"The AWS Financial Services Competency designation underscores Group-IB's commitment to delivering predictive, intelligence-driven cybersecurity solutions purpose-built for the financial sector," said Dmitry Volkov, Chief Executive Officer of Group-IB.
"As cyber threats become more sophisticated, financial institutions must move beyond reactive defences toward proactive and predictive strategies. Our solutions empower banks, insurers and payment providers to anticipate threats, prevent fraud before it occurs, and respond to incidents with speed and precision. Built on AWS, our solutions help financial organisations strengthen resilience, reduce risk and operate securely in an increasingly complex digital landscape," Volkov said.
