Financial Solutions

Introduction

Financial institutions have shown that they can provide more efficient services, such as payment processing, fund transfers, and electronic banking, more rapidly using the Internet. Information can be shared globally in an instant to promote faster response times to address client needs. However, the ubiquitous nature of the Internet also creates new opportunities for cyber crime activities. Malicious users are increasingly targeting the core infrastructure element for successful online financial initiatives: the network and server infrastructure that provides access to confidential data.

As the financial industry relies more heavily on new Web infrastructure to streamline client services, the Federal Government has stepped in to establish several regulations that mandate the security of confidential information. Financial institutions are faced with the challenge to offer more streamlined financial services through increased availability of information online, while balancing the security concerns associated with shifting online operations to a more open model that must ensure confidentiality, integrity, and accountability.

Securing critical IT infrastructure by preventing undesired access, protecting against malicious content that exposes private data, and rate-based attacks that can be employed for extortion purposes are all key considerations in working towards fulfilling government compliance and client expectations.

Top Layer is the leader for Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) security solutions for Financial Institutions. The IPS 5500 delivers the right protection, performance, and reliability to provide Financial Institutions the confidence to ensure complete privacy of their client data infrastructure while providing proper availability.
