Financial institutions must have competitive tools for web access management, so that they can protect vast quantities
of sensitive data. The finance industry has to be vigilant against unauthorized access to financial or transaction data, knowing how customers would react to news that confidential data had
been stolen or compromised.Financial institutions must also protect themselves from spyware and malicious mobile code (MMC) that is increasingly common on web sites. In fact, according to industry data,
nearly half (48.6 percent) of MMC is embedded on web sites that many companies would normally allow employees to access freely, such as travel sites and search engines. GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT
Section 501 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act mandates that financial services firms implement and enforce a written
"information security program" to protect non-public customer data. It is therefore important that financial institutions be able to monitor and track any electronic information entering or
exiting their messaging systems as an integral part of IT security. The Websense Solution
Websense offers the only solution for web access management that filters at multiple points at the gateway, on the network, and on the desktop to provide protection against emerging threats.
Websense protects organizations and their employees who use the internet from new and emerging threats such as spyware, and MMC. For the best in Web Access Management, please contact us today!
