Banks, brokerage firms, and insurance companies increase their web and network services with the intent on enhancing customer experience; ensuring customer confidence and trust, improving productivity, and protecting private and sensitive information. Network security is a paramount task, and business decisions within financial services institutions are being heavily influenced today by a related set of objectives.

SafeMedia's network security system HALONSfulfills those objectives by providing the following:

SafeMedia's network security system HALONS protects the financial institution, its critical infrastructure, and all its customers' sensitive data. Because of the importance and urgency of network security, the level of criticality and sensitivity of computing functions being conducted on financial networks often exceeds that associated with the networks of typical commercial organizations.

SafeMedia's network security system provides the flexibility and resilience to support the explosive growth in network traffic and the ever expanding trading volumes and provide the availability, capacity, and performance requirements of financial institution networks and systems.

HALONS provides targeted protection to legacy systems using target based detection and rules addressing the financial markets. Many financial institutions continue to operate significant amounts of legacy computing infrastructure, including numerous mainframe-based applications which are exposed to network-borne threats.

SafeMedia's HALONS offers the most advanced Intrusion Prevention and Detection (IPS/IDS) technology and service with many probes (sensors) and centralized reporting. Our bundled Managed Intrusion Prevention and Detection service provides you with industry-leading attack prevention and 24/7 security expertise in a cost effective bundle.

SafeMedia's HALONS provides a widget web based graphical interface that allows immediate and transparent access to your security status. The widget web based graphical interface is based on real-time information and can be accessed on-demand through the secure, web-based central database.

Financial institutions must comply with Network security requirements from the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), Basel II external link, and many other regulatory enforcement organizations. HaloNS will help keep the institution away from legal troubles by complying with these standards, without compromising security.
