In the 2026 financial ecosystem, digital wallets and payment apps have moved from convenience to necessity. As "agentic commerce"—AI-powered agents making transactions on behalf of users—takes off, the volume of digital exchanges has hit an all-time high. However, this surge in innovation has been met with a parallel rise in sophisticated "Business Logic" attacks and API-driven fraud. For FinTech leaders, the primary challenge is no longer just preventing downtime; it is ensuring the absolute integrity of every transaction. This is why Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) has become the mandatory standard for protecting digital assets.
- Neutralizing "Logic Flaws" in Transaction Flows
Unlike standard applications, payment apps are vulnerable to "Business Logic" exploits that automated tools often miss.
The Vulnerability: An attacker might manipulate a request parameter to change a transaction value (e.g., sending $100 but only being charged $1) or bypass a multi-step approval process.
The VAPT Solution: The ethical hackers at Microscan Communications manually probe your transaction logic. We test for "step-skipping" in checkout flows and ensure that the "math" behind your ledger remains unshakeable.
- Hardening the API Gateway
Modern wallets are essentially a series of APIs connecting users, banks, and merchants. In 2026, Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) remains a top threat, where an attacker modifies a resource ID in an API call to access another user's wallet balance.
Deep-Dive API Testing: Our VAPT services include rigorous API security validation, ensuring that every request is authenticated and authorized at the granular object level.
- Securing the "Human Perimeter" Against AI-Phishing
80% of global consumers were targeted by scams last year. In 2026, these are often AI-synthesized phishing attacks that mimic customer support or executive voices to steal One-Time Passwords (OTPs).
Social Engineering Simulations: A comprehensive VAPT engagement from Microscan doesn't just scan code—it tests your people and processes. We simulate advanced social engineering scenarios to ensure your support staff and users are resilient against the latest fraud techniques.
- Meeting the 2026 Regulatory Bar (RBI & PCI DSS 4.0)
Compliance is now a "commercial signal of maturity." With PCI DSS 4.0 and RBI mandates requiring quarterly scans and annual penetration tests, VAPT is a legal prerequisite for doing business.
Audit-Ready Evidence: Microscan Communications provides the detailed technical reports and attestation documents needed to satisfy Level 1 PCI auditors and central bank regulators, helping you avoid crippling fines and legal exposure.
