Cybersecurity Risks Are Killing Prop Firms: Here's How to Stay Protected

The Problem No One Talks About
Proprietary trading firms are growing faster than ever. But as the market expands, so do the threats. In 2025 alone, multiple prop firms have faced severe cyberattacks, from leaked client credentials to full infrastructure shutdowns.
The problem is that most prop firms aren’t built with cybersecurity in mind.
They prioritize front-end dashboards, payout models, and marketing automation, but neglect the backend integrity that keeps everything online and secure. The result is downtime, data breaches, and in the worst cases, complete loss of trader trust.
If you’re running (or planning to launch) a prop firm and cybersecurity isn’t already a priority, you’re already exposed.
Why These Risks Exist
The truth is simple: most founders aren’t infrastructure experts.
They launch firms by stitching together platforms, APIs, and low-cost hosting, often on shared servers or underprotected VPS providers. While this may work short term, it becomes a ticking time bomb as user volume grows.
Without a secure foundation, your trading logic, user data, and payout structures are all at risk.
What Happens When You Ignore Cybersecurity
Trader data gets exposed: Emails, passwords, trade history Platform goes down under attack: Lost trading days = lost revenue Payment systems get intercepted or spoofed: Fraudulent payouts Regulatory and legal trouble: GDPR, FINRA, FCA penalties
Damage to reputation: Traders will never return after a breach In short, one attack can ruin everything you’ve built.
How Trade Tech Solutions Solves This Problem
At Trade Tech Solutions, cybersecurity isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation.
We’ve built a battle-tested, enterprise-grade infrastructure used by over 45+ prop firms worldwide, including high-volume names like Goat Funded Trader.
Here’s what sets our security apart:

Infrastructure Hosted on AWS (Not Shared VPS)
We don’t cut corners with hosting. All TTS infrastructure runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), ensuring maximum uptime, scalability, and protection.
Military-Grade API Security
Our API is the only public-facing layer of our system, and it’s fully protected from:
- Injection Attacks
- CSRF
- CORS exploits
The entire system has been penetration-tested by OSCP and OSWE certified professionals.
Minimal Public Exposure
Of 70+ AWS services we use, only 5 are exposed to the internet. Everything else, including your user data, dashboard logic, and databases, is fully isolated from public access.
No Plain-Text Credentials. Ever.
We never store passwords in raw format. All sensitive user data is hashed, salted, and unreadable even to us. We also do not store any trading platform-generated passwords.
Autoscaling = No Downtime
If your platform goes viral overnight, our infrastructure auto-scales in real-time. You won’t experience crashes or latency during peak traffic.
Full DDoS Protection via Cloudflare
Your entire frontend is routed through Cloudflare, the global leader in anti-DDoS and edge security.
Built For Founders Who Think Long-Term
Whether you’re launching your first CFD or Futures firm, transitioning from another tech provider, or scaling an existing brand to 1,000+ users, Trade Tech Solutions gives you the security of a bank-grade system with the flexibility of a modern startup tech stack.
You focus on growing your firm. We protect it.
What Happens When You Work With TTS
1. You fill out a custom configuration file defining how your prop firm should run (payout rules, account types, scaling logic, etc.)
2. Our team builds it, exactly to your specs
3. We deliver the full system, from backend to UI, ready to launch in 15 days
4. Our infrastructure team monitors your tech stack 24/7 to keep it secure

Conclusion: Security Isn’t Optional Anymore
Cybersecurity is no longer something you handle later. It’s the difference between surviving and collapsing.
If your prop firm is built on unstable, exposed, or under-protected tech, you’re vulnerable. TTS was built to eliminate that risk.
Let us protect your infrastructure so you can scale with confidence.
