Cy5 is at DSCI FINSEC 2026 showing how banks, NBFCs, insurers and fintechs unify cloud, identity, application, AI and runtime risk on a single graph - mapped to RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, DPDP and NPCI.
These are the six recurring exposure patterns Cy5 surfaces in BFSI cloud environments across India - presented the way they actually arrive: as alerts nobody has time to triage. This is the conversation FINSEC 2026 is having. Cy5 is already in it.
RBI cybersecurity directives. SEBI's CSCRF. IRDAI for insurers. DPDP across all of it. NPCI on top, if you touch UPI. Each framework wants its own evidence format, audit cadence, and reviewer asking the same question slightly differently. Your team is doing translation work, not security work.
CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, vulnerability scanners - each tool flags something different. None of them tell you which exposure on which workload, owned by which team, is one IAM hop from your customer data. You're pivoting between dashboards instead of closing risk.
UPI traffic, NPCI rails, partner integrations, third-party PA / PG flows - most of the breach paths that matter now run through APIs that perimeter tools were never built to see. Authentication weaknesses, broken object-level authorization, and abused webhooks are showing up in incident post-mortems across the sector.
Fraud copilots, KYC summarizers, agentic underwriting - most BFSI orgs deployed first and asked the security questions later. Sensitive prompts land in third-party model logs. Tokens leak through agent memory. Your cloud security posture must now account for AI workloads, model access and data flows that traditional CSPM was never built to see.
Across AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions and GCP projects - too many service accounts with too many permissions, too few people who remember why. CIEM exists for this. Most BFSI teams haven't operationalized it. It's the single most common ingredient in real-world cloud breach paths.
Long-lived BFSI assets — bonds, mortgages, KYC archives, signed transactions - are being exfiltrated today against a future quantum decrypt. NIST's PQC standards are out. SEBI's CSCRF nods at it. Your cryptographic bill of materials probably doesn't exist yet.
Every quarter ends with the same line - "are we secure?" and the dashboards you have are technical. The board wants posture, blast radius, and how much risk a remediation cycle actually moved. Translating between the two consumes your best engineers, and even then leaves room for doubt nobody likes admitting in the room.
Five convictions about cloud security in Indian finance - the ones Cy5 will show up to FINSEC 2026 prepared to defend.
Map controls once. Render everywhere. Turn audit prep from a quarterly fire drill into an automated export.
Collapse standing privileges weekly across cloud, SaaS, and CI/CD. Close more breach paths than any other tool.
Fraud copilots and agentic underwriting are in production. Extend posture to AI workloads before governance finishes.
Long-lived BFSI assets are being harvested today against a future decrypt. NIST PQC is final. Prepare now.
Six-month onboarding marathons land outside the quarter that approved them. Posture must be live in weeks.
Visibility in days, not quarters. Real inventory of cloud, identity, models and exposures across AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes — within the first two weeks.
One workflow, not five. CSPM, CIEM, CDR and vulnerability management rendered onto a single graph - fewer consoles, fewer duplicate alerts, one on-call story.
Audits your team stops dreading. Continuous evidence generation, mapped to RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, DPDP and NPCI. Audit prep becomes a ten-minute export.
That's the Cy5 conviction. Next - what's running on the booth screen at FINSEC 2026.
ion is Cy5's cloud-native security platform, built around the way Indian banks, NBFCs, insurers and fintechs actually run on AWS, Azure and GCP. CSPM, CIEM, CDR and compliance feed the same attack-path graph. Select any layer below to see what it does.
Unified cloud security posture management across AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes. Real-time monitoring of 100+ resource types — misconfigurations, exposures and attack paths rendered onto a single graph so your team prioritizes what matters, not what's loudest.
Continuous discovery of human identities, service accounts and IAM roles across AWS, Azure and GCP. Automated identification of over-permissioned entities with least-privilege enforcement — the single highest-leverage move against lateral movement in cloud breach paths.
Discover AI models, agents and data flows running across your cloud estate. Cy5 extends cloud security posture to AI workloads — monitoring model access, detecting sensitive data exposure in prompts and responses, and surfacing misconfigurations in AI infrastructure before they become breach paths.
Advanced analytics and machine learning to detect anomalies and unauthorized activities as they happen across your cloud estate. Cloud-native threat detection ensures risks are identified and neutralized with minimal disruption to financial operations.
One control, mapped once, reported everywhere Indian financial regulators expect it. RBI cybersecurity directives, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI, DPDP Act, NPCI, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS — rendered from a single control fabric. Audit prep stops being a project.
Each pillar is useful on its own. The point is that they aren't on their own — they share one graph, one control fabric, and one workflow. That's what gives a small security team the leverage of a much larger one — and the answer to the board question nobody wants to fumble.
Every layer above is something we'll show running on a real (anonymized) BFSI environment at FINSEC 2026 — your team can pick a layer, we'll walk the graph.

DSCI FINSEC is the Data Security Council of India's flagship conference for cybersecurity in financial services, bringing together CISOs, regulators and solution providers from across Indian BFSI. It matters because it's one of the few venues where regulatory direction, threat trends and vendor solutions are discussed in the same room. For BFSI security leaders, it's a condensed way to benchmark where your programme stands against peers navigating the same RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and DPDP obligations.
Cy5 builds ion — a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) for Indian BFSI, fintechs and regulated enterprises running on AWS, Azure, GCP or Kubernetes. The ion platform unifies CSPM, CIEM, CDR, vulnerability management, AI workload visibility and compliance governance onto a single attack-path graph. It's built for security teams that have outgrown point tools but aren't looking for another console to babysit.
Most customers see initial posture visibility across their primary cloud accounts within one to two weeks of kickoff. CIEM and compliance modules typically follow within four to six weeks, and deeper CDR coverage is layered in over the following quarter. Cy5 doesn't run six-month onboarding projects — value has to show up early, or the programme stalls.
The ion platform continuously maps your cloud and identity controls against RBI cybersecurity guidelines, SEBI's CSCRF, IRDAI requirements and DPDP Act obligations — with evidence generation built in. Instead of pulling screenshots and configurations for every audit cycle, your team gets a live compliance posture, exportable in the formats regulators and internal audit actually ask for. For most teams, this turns audit prep from weeks of work into a recurring, low-effort process.
Most BFSI environments have bought CSPM and CIEM as separate tools — each with its own console, alerts and no shared context. Cy5's ion platform collapses those layers into a single graph that shows attack paths, not isolated findings. CSPM misconfigurations are correlated with CIEM identity exposure and CDR threat signals — so your team prioritises the exposures that actually matter. The result is fewer consoles, fewer duplicate alerts and clearer answers to the questions your board keeps asking.
The three dominant patterns Cy5 surfaces are identity sprawl (too many standing privileges across cloud accounts), exposed data stores (misconfigured S3, blob and database resources) and unmonitored cloud workloads running without behavioural baselines. Each of these has been implicated in recent BFSI breach patterns and is squarely in scope under RBI and DPDP obligations. Addressing them is less about buying more tools and more about getting continuous, prioritised visibility into what's actually exposed.
Engagement typically starts with a scoped pilot on a single cloud account or business unit, then scales with modules and coverage as you're ready. Pricing is transparent and structured for quarterly or annual cycles, with multi-year options where it makes sense. Cy5 publishes clear scope documents and works within standard Indian enterprise and BFSI procurement frameworks. No lock-in — your data is yours, and export is a first-class feature.
If you book a briefing, Cy5 schedules a complimentary cloud and identity exposure assessment for the week after the event — no contract, no obligation. You'll receive a written report with prioritised findings, and Cy5 will walk you through it on a follow-up call. From there, you decide whether to pilot, extend scope or take the findings to your team — the report is yours either way.
Yes — Cy5's engineering, customer success and support teams are India-based. For BFSI customers, this means no time-zone friction during an incident and direct access to engineers (not ticket queues) during rollout and beyond. It also means the ion product roadmap reflects Indian regulatory and operational realities, not an afterthought to a US or EU baseline.
Yes. Most engagements start with a pilot on a single cloud account or business unit, typically running four to six weeks. You see real posture data, real prioritised findings and a clear picture of what scaling up would look like — before any commitment to broader rollout. If the pilot doesn't deliver, the conversation ends there.
Most engagements begin with a scoped pilot on a single cloud account. You see value before you commit to scale.
CSPM and CIEM go first — fastest lift. CDR, AI workload visibility and compliance layers come in as you're ready.
No rip-and-replace. ion integrates with your SIEM, ITSM, identity provider and cloud accounts.
Quarterly, annual and multi-year structures. Transparent pricing. Clear scope documents your finance team recognises.
Your data is yours. Export is a first-class feature. If Cy5 isn't earning the renewal, Cy5 shouldn't get it.
