Banking Compliance Solutions
Internet Security Solutions and Compliance for Banks
Banks are pressured to manage the bottom line while providing increasingly convenient online services and maintaining personalized and intimate customer relationships. Customer confidence in the bank's ability to secure personal financial information is a prerequisite for implementing the integrated services that ultimately provide satisfaction and cost-effectiveness.
Security Risks that Impact Banking Compliance Solutions
|
As a critical technology service provider, Dell SecureWorks undergoes periodic examinations by the member agencies of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), as well as annual Statement on Auditing Standard 70 (SAS-70) Type II audits. |
As the threat environment evolves, the security risk to financial institutions matures as well. No longer are the attacks originating from college students looking for notoriety. Instead, hackers are more likely to be associated with organized crime and launching extremely targeted attacks with the intent of financial gain. The window for effective response to targeted attacks has become very small and requires sophisticated "hand to hand combat" with savvy attackers.
Regulatory Pressures for Banking Compliance Solutions
The bar gets higher each year for examination requirements, and the amount of time spent preparing for audits and exams can outstrip the time spent on defining appropriate security strategies.
Your Trusted Partner
Dell SecureWorks protects more banks than any other enterprise security services provider. From professional services that will assist you to develop best-practice security policies to outstanding 24x7 monitoring and reporting capabilities, emergency incident response, and even fully managed security programs, Dell SecureWorks offers a full menu of security services. Because of our large customer base, we have excellent visibility into emerging threats to banks. This visibility, along with our own research, lets us develop and implement countermeasures specific to your organization to protect you well in advance of attacks.
Banking Compliance
Dell SecureWorks provides comprehensive compliance reporting that makes it easy for you to map regulations to controls to evidence of executing those controls. We use key metrics in our database to populate compliance reports with real information about when security reports were reviewed, when changes were made, when login attempts failed, how often you were attacked, etc. Our reports have been used successfully by banks to pass thousands of audits since Dell SecureWorks was founded.
Serving the entire market
With three flexible service options and the ability to pick and choose from all three options, banks can customize our services to augment their own efforts in the most efficient way possible.
Many larger banks extend the capabilities of their security teams with our 24x7 monitoring, GIAC certified analysts, and industry/internet visibility that can identify pending threats. By having our analysts reduce the "haystack" down to the security events that require attention, they gain great efficiencies and scale for their own teams. In addition, they may also use our self-service option for visibility into additional platforms where monitoring may not be required but a comprehensive view of the entire security environment is essential.
Many community banks that have one person trying to handle the network and security functions rely on Dell SecureWorks to fully manage their security environment including IPS, firewall and host management. They may also use our monitoring service to gain visibility into server logs for increased protection and compliance and may take advantage of encrypted email services to ensure compliance with regulations regarding confidential information.
No matter what size bank, the reports from all three service options drastically reduce the time required to prepare for examiners.
