Banking & Finance Security Solutions
Challenging Times for the Banking & Finance Sector
Information is one of a financial institution’s most important assets. Protection of information assets is necessary to establish and maintain trust between the financial institution and its customers, maintain compliance with the law and protect the reputation of the institution. (FFIEC – Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council). Financial institutions continue to be threatened by newer sophisticated Internet-based attacks to compromise their confidential information. In December of 2006, the 100 millionth customer record was put at risk through unintentional disclosure. Effectively managing sensitive customer data requires a proactive strategy to keep your organization’s network protected from both internal and external threats. Sword & Shield has over 10 years of proven banking and financial industry experience to reduce your security risks and provide organization-wide protection of your information.
Proven Approach
Sword & Shield consultants provide banks, credit unions and other financial institutions a proactive strategy to effectively manage sensitive customer data by developing security policies and procedures to meet your specific institution's goals and regulatory and compliance needs. We primarily help financial institutions with Network Vulnerability Assessments and Penetration Testing. We also specialize in the development of security policy documents that are guaranteed to meet all GLB and other regulatory requirements.
Our consulting services are available to assist you in all aspects of the security life-cycle: planning, specification, design, installation, deployment, integration, operations, support, testing, policy development and compliance reporting. We can do application security testing from both an external and internal perspective. We typically conduct these tests from both an informed and uninformed perspective to give a financial institution a better understanding of their weaknesses and potential threats from both insiders and from those without specific knowledge of their systems. Our consultants use a proven, mature testing methodology to ensure the most comprehensive assessments using the most up-to-date tools and techniques for identification of vulnerabilities. Our experience in financial institutions includes long-term security consulting on an ongoing basis to control and react appropriately to the rapidly changing threats and technologies that continue to challenge financial institutions.
