Heartland Bank was one of the early adopters of IDS in banking industry.
They have been relying on Cymtec Systems products for more than four years at12 locations throughout the bank.
Rich Smith, Assistant VP of IT, Heartland Bank, cited Cymtec Systems’ security, compliance, and anti-propagation features as vital to the bank’s operations.
“Cymtec Systems provides the network-based, multi-function products that were missing in our layers of security,” he explained. “We have host-based antivirus and spyware prevention, but Cymtec Sentry gives us a different, network-based layer of protection, so we can look at it there instead of going down to the host layer.”
Smith said Heartland Bank is especially impressed with Cymtec Scout’s packet sniffing, which allows them to analyze traffic and see exactly where problems are coming from. Updates come in on the management console.”
Heartland Bank uses the reporting function in Cymtec Scout to address the Bank Secrecy Act, GLB and privacy issues. Cymtec Systems products require very little configuration on our end, and were brought online quickly.
Cymtec Sentry is installed at12 branch office locations. In addition to stopping malware, and viruses, Cymtec Sentry’s load balancing, signature and traffic shaping capabilities allow Heartland Bank greater control.
“I would definitely recommend both products to other IT professionals in the banking industry,” said Smith.
Andrew S. Rubin, Cymtec Systems President and CEO, commented, “Compliance and network security are critical issues for banks. We’re pleased to provide Heartland Bank with a key component of their solution.”
