Existing security solutions leave financial data at risk

Banking and finance organizations transfer critical and sensitive data across secure networks. In doing so, they not only face a rapidly changing cyberthreat landscape but also compulsory guidelines and legislation.

Many banking and finance firms rely on detection-based solutions, such as antivirus software and sandboxes, to provide protection against file-based threats that target sensitive data and critical networks. However, this reliance on detection means no matter how complex a security solution may be, it can still only protect against what it has seen before.

Speed of protection is vital for organizations to operate effectively, but detection-based solutions can take significant time to handle file-based threats, causing unwanted disruption to important workflows and customer interactions.

The Solution:

Zero-trust file protection by Glasswall is different. Instead of looking for malicious content, our patented CDR process treats all files as untrusted — validating, rebuilding and cleaning each to a safe and compliant standard — automatically removing potential threats.

With Glasswall CDR, banking and finance firms can protect their critical networks against file-based threats, prepare for regulatory audits and comply with international data privacy regulations faster and more securely than ever before.

Use cases

Secure file uploads against file-based threats

It is common practice for organizations that operate in the financial sector to rely on the use of upload portals to ingest sensitive information into their networks. While file uploads help organizations to comply with regulations, such as Know Your Customer (KYC), they can provide a way for bad actors to deliver malicious, file-based content.
‍
Security teams can implement Glasswall CDR either at the application, gateway or storage level – providing our patented zero-trust CDR file protection for all files uploaded via a portal.

Supercharge your firewall protection

Next generation firewalls are effective in protecting against most attack vectors, but there is a protection gap. File-based threats such as malware and ransomware can go undetected when the security filter is not aware of the structure of the document.
