Challenges
Financial services firms are burdened with demonstrating compliance with a myriad of laws and regulations (e.g. GLBA, SOX, PCI DSS, BCBS, FINRA, SB1386), mitigating the risk of an internal data breach, controlling contractor and external entity access and managing IT security implications related to merger and acquisitions. Companies have deployed traditional solutions such as network firewalls, virtual local area networks (VLANs) and/or network admission control (NAC) devices, which may be inadequate and difficult to deploy and manage.
Solution
Apani® EpiForce® is a software based alternative to segmentation and “all-or-nothing” encryption. Unlike network firewalls, VLANs or NAC that control admission to the corporate network and basic access control, EpiForce isolates data and server inside the perimeter through logical security zoning and encryption of data in motion effectively eliminating the need to reconfigure the network for security. The solution reduces a financial firm’s attack surface leading to a simplified compliance audit, a lower risk of an internal data breach, ease in configuring contractor and external entity access, and reduced complexity of managing network resources during mergers and acquisitions.
