Cloud and web data security in financial services and insurance
Cloud security for the world’s leading financial organizations
Netskope for financial services & insurance
The financial services industry moves fast, so it’s important to give your users the latest tools to keep them productive and give them access to new research and analytics services. In more and more cases, financial services firms like yours are looking to cloud services to deliver those tools, from industry-specific applications for portfolio measurement and investment analysis, to general applications for customer service, human resources and accounting. As more financial services organizations recognize the productivity gains that the cloud can provide and adopt cloud services, however, it’s also important to understand and manage the risks associated with the increasing use of cloud services and dynamic websites that mimic the functionality of the cloud.
From bank data security to the exposure of customer or investor data to the accidental disclosure of non-public reports or plans, data security in financial services organizations can be challenging as business content moves to the cloud, often without IT’s knowledge or permission. Without visibility and control of cloud and web services, IT can no longer govern usage to ensure regulatory compliance and protect sensitive data. To ensure cloud security for your organization, you need to understand what cloud services are in use and how they are being used, enforce access controls, protect sensitive data, and restrict risky activities. Netskope is doing exactly that for the world’s largest and most demanding banking, payment processing, insurance, and investment firms.
FINRA compliance and social media
Learn how Netskope can help financial services organizations use social media while keeping FINRA compliance in mind. This demo shows how you can move beyond an “allow or block” approach to cloud services by using advanced cloud DLP to create targeted policies that address specific, non-compliant situations while allowing the compliant use of social media in your organization.
Top Use Cases
Discovery
Find all cloud services and websites in use across your organization, both sanctioned services and shadow IT. Understand the enterprise-readiness of these cloud services with our objective Cloud Confidence Index and obtain detailed usage information about users, activities and data. Use this information to assess your risk and inform your cloud and web security policies, such as preventing users from uploading content to poorly rated personal cloud storage services.
Secure data
Detect sensitive content at rest in sanctioned cloud services or en route to or from any cloud service or website with advanced, enterprise DLP. Define granular policies – based on identity, service, activity and data – to automatically protect your data by blocking activities, restricting access, encrypting data, and more.
Ethical walls
See detailed information about the activities within a cloud service or website, down to the user and data level, enabling you to answer questions such as “Is anyone from ‘investment banking’ sharing any content within any cloud service with anyone in ‘equity research,’” which could be a violation of your ethical wall policy to prevent conflicts of interest per Title V of SOX.
Social media
The demand for social media by your users is undeniable, but allowing social media use in financial organizations can put you at odds with FINRA compliance. Applying a targeted DLP policy that looks for keywords such as “guarantee” and “recommend” in combination with company names and stock symbols gets you a step closer to safely enabling social media by blocking non-compliant posts.
Stop threats
The cloud and web makes it easy to share, but this same capability makes these services an attractive target for malicious actors. Protect your organization from cloud threats such as malware and ransomware and also detect unusual data movement or user activity that could indicate the presence of an active threat in your environment.
