New Security Tool Shields US Banks from Data Exposure Risks in 2026
A new security solution for US banks using Temenos Transact has just been unveiled. Developed by comforte AG and ITSS Global, the tool aims to reduce exposure of sensitive data across banking systems. The announcement arrived on 18 February 2026, targeting financial institutions handling personally identifiable information (PII) and payment details.
The solution integrates comforte's TAMUNIO technology with Temenos Transact, offering tokenization and centralized policy controls. It ensures data remains protected whether in core systems, analytics platforms, or the cloud. US banks can now streamline compliance with standards like PCI DSS 4.0 and GDPR while maintaining data sovereignty.
Both companies highlight a shift in focus from securing systems to securing the data itself. Henning Horst, CTO at comforte, noted that modern threats require this approach. Somasundaram M, Regional Sales Director at ITSS, added that the real challenge lies in safeguarding data as it moves between environments.
The tool supports reporting, fraud detection, and AI-driven analytics without exposing raw sensitive information. ITSS Global, a Geneva-based Temenos partner with 300+ clients worldwide, brings system integration expertise. Comforte, headquartered in Wiesbaden, specialises in data-centric security solutions.
The collaboration provides US banks with a way to modernise securely while enabling cloud and AI use cases. Tokenization and controlled de-tokenization help reduce risks tied to clear-text data in core banking. The solution is now available, though adoption figures have not yet been disclosed.
