As the leading provider of cloud-based mobility as a service (MaaS) solutions, Fiberlink Communications Corporation launched the Financial IT Reg Enforcement Service to help financial service organizations safeguard data on mobile devices. Organizations can leverage these Fiberlink’s service to safeguard themselves from data breaches, which equals to an average of $3.4 million per instance by the Ponemon Institute (News - Alert).
The challenges faced by the growing mobile workforce are efficiently tackled by the Financial IT Reg Enforcement Services, thus securing laptops, smartphones, netbooks and distributed PCs. Financial firms can use the service to pinpoint non-compliant endpoints and vulnerabilities and also ensure compliance with state and federal PCI (News - Alert) regulations. The services also help troubleshoot problems, improve operating processes by identifying opportunities, as well as reduce networking costs.
In a press release, James Sheward, CEO at Fiberlink, said, “Today’s financial firms are rightfully worried about the sensitive data that is stored on mobile devices and transmitted across wireless networks. Cybercrime has advanced in sophistication, requiring IT to be prepared with adequate tools to protect customer data. Fiberlink’s new financial service secures this data so financial firms can prevent security breaches and avoid regulatory fines and damage to reputation and revenue.”
The Financial IT Reg Enforcement Service makes efficient use of Fiberlink’s MaaS360 cloud-based platform to collect data on thousands of mobile devices. After collecting detailed information on installed hardware and software, data security applications, patch updates, anti-virus signature files, VPN usage and connections to the Internet, the data is analyzed and reported to a centralized management portal. Additionally, administrators can use the service to remotely push patches, as well as control the devices in the cloud. According to a recent technology adoption profile conducted by Forrester (News - Alert) Consulting on behalf of Fiberlink, one of the main IT security priorities is to demonstrate Financial Industry Regulatory Authority compliance, and this requirement is successfully addressed by Financial IT Reg Enforcement Service that provides financial firms with detailed reports.
Enterprises and business users can take advantage of Fiberlink’s MaaS360 mobility infrastructure and subscription services to share and secure information over the Internet. Fiberlink's MaaS360 unique platform not only ensures reliable, secure and compliant mobile working for employees but also delivers unprecedented Mobility Intelligence to senior management and IT operations.
