¶ Introduction
Financial services are at the forefront of cybersecurity challenges due to the high value and sensitivity of the data they manage. For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), deploying a robust and flexible security framework is essential to protecting their clients in this sector. Exium’s combined Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platforms offer a comprehensive solution designed to address and enhance the security needs of financial service organizations.
¶ Key Benefits
¶ Comprehensive Internet Security
- Secure Internet Access: Exium provides financial professionals with secure internet access and SaaS traffic management, vital for daily operations. Features like DNS/Web Security, Threat Prevention, and Malicious Domain Protection ensure that cyber threats are effectively neutralized, while Geo Fencing and Conditional Access restrict data access based on stringent location and user criteria.
¶ Enhanced Application Security
- Secure Private Access: By implementing Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Exium ensures that access to sensitive financial applications is strictly controlled and monitored. This framework significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches across distributed work environments.
¶ Advanced Workplace Security
- Modern Workplace Security: Exium's Cyber Gateways replace legacy firewalls with a modern security suite that includes Software Firewall, Network Segmentation, and IoT/OT Security. These features secure all user devices in offices and data centers, providing robust protection against sophisticated threats and maintaining business continuity.
¶ Proactive Threat Intelligence and Response
- Exium XDR Capabilities: With comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities, Exium’s XDR helps SOC teams identify, investigate, and neutralize threats quickly. Employing tools such as SIEM, Malware Detection, and Threat Hunting, MSPs can ensure rapid response to any threats, protecting the integrity of financial data.
¶ Efficient Compliance Management
- Governance Risk and Compliance Tools: Financial services must adhere to strict regulatory requirements, including PCI DSS and GDPR. Exium’s platform supports over 50 compliance frameworks, easing the burden on MSPs and ensuring that financial institutions maintain compliance with evolving regulations, minimizing risk and exposure.
¶ Secure Identity Management
- IAM Solutions: Exium enhances security and usability with Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and a Password Manager, streamlining the login process while protecting against credential theft. This supports efficient user management and boosts productivity within financial institutions.
