Internet Filtering for the Financial Services Industry

Financial Service Institutions have always had the duty of protecting the privacy and integrity of customer data. This duty is underscored in new legislation like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Graham Leach Bliley Act and SEC rule 17A-4.

To meet these mandates, many of these firms implement the NetSpective Solution because of its ability to monitor, block and report on high-risk Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing applications, Instant Messenger (IM) and online chat activity that can provide hackers access to sensitive customer information. NetSpective can also selectively block access to millions of URLs in more than 60 categories, either by group or individual employee.

NetSpective products put you in control of your network by enabling you to:

• Meet many regulatory requirements that mandate privacy protection for customer information and other financially sensitive material
• Block Peer-to-Peer file sharing and Instant Messaging applications
• Prevent access to inappropriate streaming media that can put a drag on bandwidth resources and degrade network performance
• Monitor, report on and block access to specific categories of URLs.
