Defender 5.2 in Industry

Government

A government’s responsibility towards protecting its citizens extends to safeguarding the systems used to administer resources, applications and data.

Maintaining strong security while still allowing authorized access to sensitive information is the key to solving the problem and falling within the regulatory compliance guidelines and practices. Under the US Information Technology Management Reform Act (Public Law 104-106), the United States Secretary of Commerce approves standards and guidelines that are developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for Federal computer systems.

Banking

The strong authentication capability provided by Defender 5 is an invaluable asset for the banking industry

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act specifies that as a director of any US listed company, you must ensure that adequate and effective internal controls are in place to prevent fraudulent accounting practices. This includes controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can update financial information. Failure to comply with this requirement could mean a 20-year jail sentence.

Insurance

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that your annual report features an independent assessment of the effectiveness of your company’s internal controls. Can you afford not to be insured?

For organizations "significantly engaged" in providing financial products or services, you should also be considering the Safeguards Rule of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (1999). If your company holds financial information about customers, you must implement safeguards to protect its security and confidentiality. Defaulters can look forward to a heavy fine, or an injunction.

Healthcare

Defender 5’s two-factor authentication is perfectly suited to the type of highly sensitive data held by health care organizations and businesses as well as catering for a variety of mobile situations that health care staff find themselves in.

Doctors and other clinicians, who need remote access to clinical applications when they are away from their normal office, hospital, and surgery or clinic situation, will find Defender 5 invaluable. A balance must be achieved between end-user convenience, security for sensitive records and centralized control of user access. Defender 5 offers all this and more.
