Solutions for Finance

Overview

Financial institutions today are at a crossroads – striving to provide flexible services, efficient business processes and workable partnerships while simultaneously protecting information, reducing risk and improving efficiencies.

Although banks were an early adopter of computer technology to ensure accuracy and efficiency when handling the daily transaction of their customers, they have largely been forced to maintain conservative profiles when approaching new technologies due to the need for airtight security. Fortunately, security technologies are constantly improving to address these needs.

Remote access offers financial institutions tremendous operational and productivity gains, enabling bankers, brokers, agents, partners, vendors and consultants instant access to key Web-enabled applications and resources. These remote access points require very tight secure data communication protocols and strong authentication and fine access control measures. Traditionally, banks and financial institutions relied on leased-lines to maintain end-to-end control over data - expensive and inflexible. Now SafeNet offers a variety of VPN solutions allowing banks to harness low-cost internet connections while maintaining the security and integrity of data flowing through them.

Additionally, stricter government demands on the financial industry mandate banks to secure access to sensitive banking and customer data. New regulations are issued frequently from all over the world requiring greater protection of data and privacy. The Graham-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA), Sarbanes-Oxley, the Basel II Accord, EU Data Protection Directive and improved California privacy laws all mandate strict controls on how data is handled and protected by financial institutions. SafeNet products make it easier to meet the demands of these regulations with validated hardware and proven operational models.

Enabling efficient delivery of applications to users is critical to cost containment and efficiency improvements. By consolidating applications into a unified Web architecture, banks and brokerages reduce the complexity of access for users and ongoing support of their IT organization. Customers service themselves through online banking secured by SSL, and branch offices and remote sales agents easily access business systems and customer information through SSL VPNs.

From controlling employee access to making it easier for customers to access their banking information, SafeNet offers a suite of security meeting the demands of the financial industry.
