Banks and financial institutions deal with millions of transactions daily, which means that much more customer data needs to be secured. Attackers seek to steal funds from hacked accounts or lay hand on personally identifiable information (PII) that can be used for malicious activities like identity theft and fraudulent use of credit cards.
Protecting extremely sensitive data is a top priority, for both business and compliance reasons. But better security cannot come at the expense of network performance, as consumers and businesses increasingly demand real-time access to every offering, from online and mobile banking to high-frequency trading. At the same time, institutions must control costs and optimize operational efficiency to remain competitive in an industry with many players.
NetXGATE delivers advanced protection capabilities to help finance and banking institutions stay secure without adding to their IT overhead. Easily adopt cloud computing and compliance with industry best practices and regulations with Netx by your side.
As network traffic increases—especially to and from distant cloud data centers—financial services institutions face increasing costs to maintain acceptable levels of network performance between branch offices and headquarters. Purchasing additional MPLS bandwidth is an expensive and time-consuming undertaking, and is not scalable to future network demands. At the same time, remote branches—and edge devices within them—are a target for cyber criminals, who see them as easier to penetrate.
NetXGATE Secure SD-WAN Solutions enables network traffic to travel securely over multiple connections between branches and headquarters—including the public internet. It eliminates the requirement for all traffic to be routed through the data center for inspection, preventing bottlenecks that result in latency. And it builds scalability into the network infrastructure connecting branch offices with headquarters, thus eliminating future bandwidth investments.
At remote locations, NetXGATE NG or RED enables financial services organizations to combine networking and security capabilities for branch offices—all administered from a single NetXGATE NGFW.
