Over the last decade, a fundamental transformation has occurred in the financial services sector - mergers and acquisitions, regulatory changes, and the changing role of the technology have reshaped the industry and significantly altered financial business practices. In response to these challenges, financial services companies have introduced streamlined and automated processing, extended networking, and new customer product suites. However, the infrastructure that supports internal operations and external data exchange is often provided by legacy and inherently complex core banking solutions. This creates significant complexities with regards to application security issues and security management.
Additional information security challenges arise from a series of legislative and regulatory initiatives - including the Graham-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act, and the European Data Privacy Directive. These laws require enhanced security and privacy, and raise the legal and financial stakes for enterprises that fail to meet their standards. Additionally, many US financial institutions now require that security solutions comply with the requirements of FIPS 140-2.
