Written by PR Newswire

LONDON, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ATFX Connect, the institutional arm of ATFX, has successfully obtained the Cyber Essentials Plus certification, underscoring its dedication to a secure IT infrastructure and stringent cybersecurity measures.

Cyber Essentials Plus is a UK government-backed certification that requires an independent, hands-on technical assessment to verify an organization's cyber defences against common threats such as malware, phishing, and hacking attempts. Administered by IASME, it represents a higher level of security assurance compared to the standard Cyber Essentials.

Issued by Bulletproof and verified by IASME, this certification signifies that ATFX Connect's cyber defences were rigorously tested and met industry standards against commodity-based cyber threats. The assessment process evaluated key security measures, including firewall configurations, access controls, malware protection, and system patching, ensuring compliance with best practices in cybersecurity.

For institutional clients, cybersecurity is critical to trust and operational integrity. Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus demonstrates ATFX Connect's commitment to protecting client data, mitigating cyber risks, and maintaining a secure trading infrastructure.

In the competitive landscape of institutional trading, robust cybersecurity measures are a key differentiator. ATFX Connect's attainment of the Cyber Essentials Plus certification not only meets industry standards but also sets it apart from competitors, showcasing its proactive approach to safeguarding client interests.
