Financial business managers and IT management share common customer services security objectives:

Banks, financial institutions, and insurance companies are all focused on enhancing their customer’s experience and confidence. Most importantly customers expect that their financial service provider improves operational efficiencies with innovative web or cloud-based products and services. Ongoing and ever improving protection of private and sensitive information, wherever it resides in the financial service providers infrastructure, are table stakes. Like many other industries the competition in the financial sector is fierce. The ability to outperform the competition or improve the effectiveness of any of the above elements will be a core competitive differentiator. Maximizing the customers security experience will be a pivotal element for increased customer preference, growth and loyalty.

IT professionals in Finance use Cymtec Scout to: 

Maximize risk management of critical network infrastructures: Networks in the financial markets are widely deemed to be “mission critical infrastructures.” The transactions that are processed do not only represent the life savings of individuals but are the operational drivers of business and dramatically impact the continuity of the global economy. Scout uses SourceFire VRT™ signatures that guarantee the highest levels of IDS monitoring and reporting detail in the industry. 

Simplify regulatory, customer or supplier driven IDS compliance management: Network security requirements from the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), Basel II/III , and other sources have emerged and will drive compliance enforcement in the financial services community. Scout’s unique next generation cloud-enabled architecture removes the headaches of traditional piece-meal IDS products.

Upgrade the security of legacy networked systems: Many financial institutions continue to operate significant amounts of legacy computing infrastructure. These systems are often fully interconnected with networks that are more modern and continue to perform mission-critical functions. However, many of these older systems are exposed to network-borne threats, and these institutions cannot afford to remove them from service for remediation. Scout’s out-of-the box deployment simplifies IDS compliance for every segment and corner of your network at an affordable price point.
