SecuritySide

EbankIT has acquired SecuritySide, a cybersecurity company specialising in protecting financial institutions across multiple domains.

According to Finextra, the deal marks a major step forward in ebankIT’s ambition to deliver more secure and innovative digital banking services worldwide.

By integrating SecuritySide’s expertise, ebankIT aims to strengthen its platform with advanced identity protection and multi-layered security features.

EbankIT is best known for its omni-channel digital banking platform, which helps financial institutions accelerate their digital transformation strategies. Its technology enables banks and credit unions to deliver seamless experiences across mobile, online, and branch channels.

SecuritySide, recognised for its security-by-design principles, offers tailored cybersecurity solutions. These include cloud consulting, DevSecOps advisory, penetration testing, and retesting services that validate remediation efforts. The company also provides detailed, actionable reports that help organisations improve their security posture and meet compliance requirements.

Through this acquisition, ebankIT will integrate SecuritySide’s capabilities into its platform, with a focus on enhanced authentication and identity protection through TrustFactor, as well as mobile and application security via the Mobile Protection Suite (MPS). MPS is designed to safeguard mobile apps against tampering, malware, reverse engineering, and other sophisticated threats.

The companies said the partnership reflects a shared vision of proactive and integrated security, helping financial institutions scale with confidence while navigating evolving regulatory requirements. With SecuritySide’s technology, ebankIT reinforces its long-term commitment to security as a core pillar of digital transformation in banking.

EbankIT CEO Renato Oliveira said, “Security has always been fundamental to ebankIT’s vision of digital banking. By joining forces with SecuritySide, we are expanding our capabilities, and we’re reshaping what it means to be secure in a digital-first financial world. This acquisition allows us to deliver trust at every level, from the core to the edge, ensuring that our customers remain ahead of threats while accelerating innovation.”
