ATFX Connect, the institutional division of ATFX, has received Cyber Essentials Plus certification, highlighting its commitment to robust IT security infrastructure and comprehensive cybersecurity protocols.
The certification, backed by the UK government, requires an independent technical assessment to verify an organisation's cyber defences against common threats. It represents a higher level of security assurance than the standard Cyber Essentials certification and was issued by Bulletproof and verified by IASME.
During the assessment process, ATFX Connect's security measures underwent rigorous testing across multiple areas including firewall configurations, access controls, malware protection and system patching protocols. The certification confirms that these defences meet industry standards for protection against commodity-based cyber threats.
For institutional clients operating in financial markets, cybersecurity remains a critical component of trust and operational stability. The achievement of Cyber Essentials Plus demonstrates ATFX Connect's commitment to safeguarding client data, reducing cyber risks and maintaining a secure trading environment.
In the institutional trading sector, where security concerns continue to grow, robust cybersecurity measures serve as a significant differentiator. ATFX Connect's certification not only meets industry requirements but also highlights its proactive approach to protecting client interests in an evolving threat landscape.
ATFX Connect was launched in 2019 as the institutional arm of ATFX, with the aim of expanding the broker's global presence. The platform is designed to provide automated trading solutions tailored for hedge funds, asset managers, brokers, private banks and other financial institutions.
