What is Penetration Testing Banks?

A bank penetration test, also known as a bank pentest, is a simulation of real-world cyberattacks on a bank’s digital infrastructure. Think of it as a “stress test” for a financial institution—not simply to uncover surface-level weaknesses, but to dig into the specific security challenges banks confront, from internal networks to complicated digital banking apps and APIs.

The Atlantic Security Model

Internal Network Focus: Assessing the particular threats that lie inside the firewall, including controls on staff access and privileged identities.

The Payment Procedures and Digital Apps Testing covers all parts of the transaction authorization process and the ability of digital banking apps and APIs to attack.

Authorization and Privilege Management: Focuses on how transactions are authorized, who has privileged identities, and how access is controlled across the bank.
