FinThreat Relay: Sector Threat Intelligence Switchboard Service

A human-operated 24/7 threat intelligence coordination hub staffed by ex-cybersecurity operators and law enforcement liaisons who receive raw threat reports from participating banks, fintechs, and telecoms, validate them against a curated database of known attack signatures, and broadcast verified alerts to all members within 15 minutes via secure channels (SMS, encrypted messaging, direct calls to security heads). Operates as a physical operations center with rotating on-call teams, not a passive platform.

SERVICE

52 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Eliminates the 4–8 hour delay in threat sharing that exists today by replacing email chains and regulatory reporting with a live human switchboard that validates, deduplicates, and broadcasts threats in real time. Institutions get early warning before attacks spread laterally; the service provider becomes the trusted hub that regulators (BoG, NCA) and law enforcement (BNI Cyber Unit) also feed intelligence into, creating a virtuous cycle.

Target Audience

Chief Information Security Officers, Chief Risk Officers, and Security Operations Center heads at Ghanaian banks, fintechs (MTN Mobile Money, Vodafone Cash, Fidelity Bank), and telecom operators (MTN, Vodafone, Airtel) with 500+ employees and >GHS 50M annual revenue.

Key Features

  • 24/7 staffed operations center with rotating ex-FinSec and law enforcement personnel
  • Threat intake via secure phone line, encrypted email, and WhatsApp Business API (familiar to Ghanaian orgs)
  • Real-time deduplication: incoming threat matched against 90-day threat history and cross-institution reports
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Secure phone system (Vodafone Business or MTN Business Voice) ProtonMail Business (encrypted email for threat intake) WhatsApp Business API (familiar to Ghanaian orgs) Signal or Telegram (encrypted group messaging for broadcast)

Original Problem

Financial institutions cannot share cyber threat intelligence fast enough to prevent coordinated attacks across the sector

Banks, fintechs, and telecom companies in Ghana's digital finance ecosystem face coordinated cyberattacks that spread rapidly because threat intelligence sharing between institutions, regulators, and law enforcement is too slow and fragmented. Current siloed approaches leave organizations vulnerable to attacks that exploit gaps between institutions, allowing cybercriminals to move laterally across the financial sector before defenses can be coordinated.
