SabPaisa Taps AccuKnox for AI-Powered Zero Trust Security to Protect Digital Payments

Quick Summary

SabPaisa has partnered with AccuKnox to implement a Zero Trust Security framework for its digital payments platform. By leveraging AccuKnox's AI-powered cloud security, SabPaisa ensures robust transaction protection and maintains strict compliance with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations for financial services providers.

How Does SabPaisa Secure Its Payments Platform?

Zero Trust Security is the cornerstone of the new partnership between SabPaisa and AccuKnox. As an RBI-authorised entity, SabPaisa requires a unified security posture to manage high-volume digital transactions across UPI, cards, and net banking. By integrating AccuKnox, the platform gains real-time detection and response capabilities, essential for defending against sophisticated cyber threats.

• Unified Visibility: Consolidates cloud security monitoring into a single pane of glass.
• RBI Compliance: Meets stringent regulatory standards for data protection in India.
• SOC 2 Assurance: Provides verified operational security for enterprise and government clients.

What Technologies Power the AccuKnox Security Stack?

The Zero Trust Security platform provided by AccuKnox utilizes a modular architecture that includes a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) and specialized AI security tools. This allows SabPaisa to deploy Agentic AI SOC capabilities and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to protect sensitive financial data. The integration of Application Security (ASPM) ensures that the software supply chain remains secure from development to deployment.

“At SabPaisa, protecting every transaction and the data behind it is fundamental to the trust our customers place in us. AccuKnox gives us unified visibility across our cloud security posture and real-time detection and response in one platform, along with the SOC 2 assurance our business requires. The team’s technical depth gave us the confidence to move forward quickly and secure our platform as we scale.” - Swayambhu Prakash, CISO, SabPaisa

Why is AI-Powered Security Critical for Fintech?

AI-powered cloud security is no longer optional for payment gateways handling large digital volumes. AccuKnox provides AI-Red Teaming and AI-GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) modules that proactively identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. This proactive stance is vital for SabPaisa as it serves educational institutions and government organizations that demand the highest levels of uptime and integrity.

“We are thrilled that a visionary organisation like SabPaisa decided to partner with AccuKnox. We look forward to delivering them robust Zero Trust Security to support their current business imperatives and future strategic initiatives.“ - Rahul Jadhav, co-founder, CTO, AccuKnox
