Enhance your security and fraud management

In the financial services industry, few issues are more important than adopting the highest levels of security and fraud management. As customers transition to online banking and regulations become more stringent, this issue gains in importance for credit unions across the country. As you begin to adopt next-generation technology solutions, such as IP Telephony, protecting users against viruses and Denial of Service attacks also becomes more critical each day.

According to Forrester Research (Which Canadian Bank Leads In Online Banking Adoption?, Forrester Research, Inc., October 2005.), 56% of Canadian households banked online during 2005. While this represents good news for Canadian banks, it also underscores a critical challenge: The need to enhance system security and adopt rigorous fraud control measures. Other trends also contribute to the need for improved security - from greater reliance on multiple channels and more stringent regulatory controls to ongoing hacker attacks and viruses.

Truly effective security demands a pervasive model in which accountability is pushed to all parts of the organization and "security think" is infused at all stages of the business lifecycle. To achieve these objectives, you need strong governance, dynamic policies and a clear understanding of the real threats associated with any initiative.

We consider organizational business drivers, legal requirements, economic conditions, market trends, and the overall business context in which the organization operates.
