Enterprise Security Solution for Finance Industry

Challenge

Financial service firms in North America and Europe are burdened with demonstrating regulatory compliance with a myriad of laws and regulations (e.g. GLBA, SOX, PCI DSS, BCBS, FINRA, and SB1386).  The purpose of these laws and regulations are to mitigate the risk of an internal data breach, control remote worker or contractor access and manage IT security implications related to merger and acquisitions.  

Companies in the finance industry cannot pass regulatory compliance by implementing traditional solutions such as network firewalls and virtual local area networks (VLANs) without:

• Increasing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
• Replacing or rewriting existing applications
• Creating data silos and gaps in the network security
• Requiring separate management
• Limiting the flexibility of the network to scale with the company

Solution

Apani® knows the financial service industry is one of the most regulated industries requiring an innovative solution to their regulatory compliance and network security requirements. EpiForce® Security software is designed to provide network security and end point security with a lower TCO.

Financial service firms who implement EpiForce Security software will:

• Have lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than traditional solutions such as network firewalls and virtual local area networks (VLANs). The cost of deploying software is less in terms of the acquisition cost of each hardware appliance and the cost to install, configure and support each one.


• Meet regulatory security requirements and provide a strong audit trail without replacing or rewriting existing applications


• Protect both physical and virtual environments without creating virtual security gaps or data silos


• Dynamically segment the network through a centralized console without modifying any existing hardware; this enables the IT organization to reap the benefits of network segmentation, increased security and lower operating costs.


• Implement a solution that can scale to true enterprise levels without sacrificing network flexibility
