In the fast-growing, high-stakes world of financial services, one thing executives can't take risks on is network security.   With billions of trade dollars, account information and personal data transiting their networks, financial services firms need to prevent data security breaches that might result in financial loss, information theft, business interruption, negative publicity or regulatory compliance violations. 

Complicating these challenges, fortunes can be made or lost in seconds.  Volatile market conditions demand fast, secure and uninterrupted network connectivity -- even a small service interruption or security breach can have disastrous consequences.  As a result, financial services firms need a reliable, scalable network intrusion prevention solution capable of preventing network attacks without disrupting legitimate traffic.

Underlining these pressures, financial services typically face a raft of Federal, State and trade group requirements and regulations regarding their information security practices.  These may include:

• Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)
• California Senate Bill 1386
• Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS)
• SEC regulations
