FinanceInvesting in TrustFinancial institutions such as retail and investment banks, card services and brokers manage much of the world's wealth. As such, this sector is an attractive target for cybercriminals who seek significant profit from information and monetary theft. This is especially challenging because the industry is heavily regulated, requiring financial institutions to secure their data while still using the Web as a profit center and email as a critical messaging tool. These institutions must proactively manage malware, data loss and compliance risks, while controlling costs and implementing greater efficiency.ChallengesMalware Attacks Financial institutions are preferred targets of cybercriminals who seek lucrative payoffs from their illicit activities. Targeted malware attacks are difficult to detect and prevent, so these institutions need accurate security technologies that fully protect from these attacks while still enabling the legitimate exchange of information.Regulatory Compliance The finance sector faces growing, stringent regulations, and these institutions often need to manage and secure their Web and email use across many locations. These organizations are typically required to store data for specified periods of time and to retrieve it quickly, when necessary, for legal discovery purposes. Processing, storing and transmitting payment card data must be PCI DSS compliant. From a single employee email or social media post to data-stealing malware, protecting financial data is more challenging than ever before.Data Breaches Data and privacy breaches not only damage corporate reputations and reduce customer confidence; they are extremely costly due to legal implications and regulatory fees. It is critical to secure data in the finance industry because these institutions handle confidential customer information, including credit card numbers, account numbers and social security numbers.Mobile and Remote Connections Financial managers and other staff access the Internet from a variety of locations, often connecting laptops wirelessly. Information needs to be secured and policy should be enforced at the same high level for these users as for those who reside in a main office.M86 Security Solutions for FinanceKey Web SolutionsThe M86 Secure Web Gateway (SWG) simplifies compliance and secures financial organizations by:· Protecting complex finance systems and networks from sophisticated data-stealing malware· Controlling Web 2.0 and social media activities that could compromise data· Protecting from new and targeted malware attacks that other solutions miss· Enabling financial institutions to set specific, flexible policies that prevent the loss of confidential customer information via the Web or Web-based applications· Integrating the M86 Security Reporter (SR) to provide robust, customizable reporting and up to 12 TB of storage for easy long-term proof of complianceM86 WebMarshal provides security and DLP to financial institutions by:· Controlling what information users can upload to the Web, including text and file attachments, to ensure that confidential customer data cannot be transmitted intentionally or accidentally· Supporting flexible, intuitive policy enforcement· Enabling these organizations to demonstrate regulatory compliance easilyLearn more about all M86 Web security solutionsKey Email SolutionsThe M86 MailMarshal Secure Email Gateway (SEG) enables financial institutions to productively exchange information without worrying about harmful data leaks or compliance risks by:· Automating policy enforcement· Inspecting all email content, even within attachments· Protecting from blended threats that spread malware· Providing a highly scalable, centralized and easy-to-manage solution· Deploying as a standalone solution or as a distributed array designed to support the largest networksM86 MailMarshal Email Content Manager (ECM) makes email policy management for Microsoft Exchange 2007 and 2010 simple by:· Enabling limitless scalability with a new array/node architecture· Supporting Microsoft's high-availability architecture· Inspecting all incoming, outgoing and internal email contentLearn more about all M86 email security solutions |
