I'd actually be a little surprised if a large financial services firm doesn't already have malware detection tools installed. Whether it's one or more of the many endpoint tools (AV, EDR, XDR, pick your acronym) or something on the network looking for behaviors, it's hard to imagine anything bigger than a tiny startup not having something in place.
Mitigation is a separate issue and depends on what sort of malware you're dealing with. Endpoint defenses should be in place that can blunt or stop a threat (even if none of them are 100% effective) and there are a number of things you can do on the network to prevent malicious actors from exfiltrating data, downloading their payloads, or gaining persistence. Though none of the defenses are 100% effective.
Seriously. If vendor tells you they are always effective against everything, they are lying to you.
To give you better answers though, you'll need to be more specific.

You have to use a proactive approach to detect the malware inside your network, so you have to use NGAV with an XDR solution, keep UpToDate your client machines and servers, run a full scan in a week, and make sure your NGAV should be UpToDate. Also, blocked non-useful URLs and domains from the gateway firewall and most important. Don't allow the user to install anything without the permission of the IT team until they verified the required Application is safe or not.
I would suggest you think about the zero-day trust framework. There are various solutions around us, and they will protect your organization with different levels or layers of access. Microsoft has a good slide to elaborate on the zero-day trust network.
Anti-malware solutions are software programs that are designed to protect devices from malware. Malware is a broad term that encompasses any software that is designed to harm a computer system. This includes viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, and other malicious programs.
