Seamfix Limited has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing cybersecurity resilience within Nigeria’s financial services industry, serving as a platinum sponsor at the 2025 Annual Conference of the Committee of Chief Information Security Officers of Nigerian Financial Institutions (CCISONFI). The high-profile event, held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, convened cybersecurity leaders, IT executives, and financial industry stakeholders to address the growing complexity of cyber threats in an increasingly digital ecosystem.
At the forefront of discussions was the imperative to combat insider threats—an area of escalating concern for financial institutions. Seamfix used the platform to spotlight the transformative role of biometric-based Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in fortifying internal security frameworks.
Speaking at the event, Seamfix Group CEO and Co-founder, Mr. Chimezie Emewulu, underscored the need for robust identity-driven security protocols in multi-cloud environments where traditional access controls are proving inadequate.
“Insider fraud continues to plague the financial industry due to weak access controls and limited visibility into user actions,” Emewulu said. “With Seamfix iAM, we’ve integrated biometric-based MFA at the application layer—beyond the device level—to ensure that only verified individuals gain access. Identity is no longer optional; it must be the core of any secure system.”
Enhancing Access Governance with Seamfix iAM
Seamfix iAM, the company’s flagship identity and access management platform, is designed to empower institutions with real-time oversight, enabling immediate responses to unauthorized login attempts, eliminating residual access for ex-employees, and maintaining strict access governance. These capabilities are especially critical at a time when insider-related breaches represent a substantial proportion of financial sector fraud.
The company’s participation at the CCISONFI conference reflects a broader strategic vision to support financial institutions in adopting next-generation security solutions that meet evolving regulatory and operational demands.
Driving Sector-wide Innovation
Seamfix’s advocacy for biometric authentication and zero-trust principles comes as Nigerian financial institutions continue to digitize core operations and expand their cloud infrastructure. By championing solutions that blend innovation with regulatory compliance, the company positions itself as a pivotal enabler of cybersecurity transformation in the region.
