For those that operate in the global finance sector, being able to secure and transfer data has never been more important. Having the ability to operate in international markets and trading blocs, all with differing approaches to regulatory protection of data is quite the challenge.
Logistical challenges aside – we are in a world where established players in the finance space are prominent targets for attacks, whether engineered or systematic. Other security hazards can arise from simply leaving storage devices that contain sensitive data on a train, taxi or airplane.
Given these widening attack vectors, and since the consequences of a breach are both financial and reputational, we are now at a stage where closing these gaps is no longer aspirational, but a necessity.
Challenge
A Fortune 500 financial services organisation needed the ability to scale a solution globally that conforms to the most stringent data protection regulations. They wanted a solution that is straightforward to deploy, whilst offering the ability to be centrally managed.
Beyond the initial requirements, they also needed a solution that could combine high levels of security with a user experience that would ensure that insecure workarounds are prevented, safeguarding endpoints, and protecting their valuable data.
So, when such a prominent player in the finance space was looking to ensure data compliance, and needed a partner who understands their needs and offers solutions that solves these challenges, they came to Kingston.
