FreedomFire Communications is able to offer Managed Security for Financial Services that is designed to help meet the financial services regulations on information security originated under the GLBA and prescribed by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). Additional support is also provided for agency specific requirements such as those from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), as well as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
Security Controls Implementation
Security Controls Implementation is one of the key requirements to be met from the FFIEC. Our SaaS offerings incorporate comprehensive Unified Threat Management (UTM) security services to address these needs which include Advanced Firewall, Intrusion Prevention, Antivirus, Web Filtering, Anti-spam, Web Application Control and Data Leak Prevention. All UTM services can be fully implemented in the cloud, on premise, or in a hybrid configuration delivering unprecedented, defense-in-depth security.
Security and Process Monitoring
Financial institutions need to rigorously monitor the security of their networks and host systems from a regulatory perspective, but also from a security best practices perspective. Additionally, they need to continuously gather and assess new threats and vulnerabilities to stay ahead of the game. We offer several managed solutions to support these requirements which include Managed Logging with real-time review, File Integrity Monitoring to keep an eye on servers and other critical endpoints, as well as Vulnerability Scanning Services to evaluate the effectiveness of existing security controls.
Additionally, we offer a portal-based Security Information Management platform which allows organizations to track remediation activities, correlate and report on suspicious activities and produce audit reports to demonstrate due diligence in running an effective information security program.
