The protection of client records and confidential data has always been a top priority within the financial services sector. However, as pressure from threats, regulatory bodies and new legislation increases, so has the need for better ways to address the threat of information loss, especially when it is actively flowing through a network. For banks and other financial institutions, the ramifications of data theft and security breaches are immense, not only from a financial and legal perspective, but also from the damage to its brand and public reputation.
An example of this is the theft of 36 million Visa and MasterCard cardholder records from Card Systems, Inc. - a major credit card transaction clearinghouse that was so negatively impacted that it lost customers as well as business and market capitalization in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Equally critical to financial service organizations is the ability to archive transactions and all communications between its employees and the end-consumer. Similarly, it needs to proactively address governance issues such as enforcing its Acceptable Use Policy as it relates to internal user communications.
Increasing, financial organizations are looking for ways to supplement their current security measures with the ability to monitor, record and play back all forms of actual communications and related content.
netReplay® provides financial service organizations with a powerful, yet easy-to-use way to monitor, capture, analyze and present (replay) original content that can clearly demonstrate exactly what is happening with the information and communications residing on their networks.
Essentially, financial service organizations will be able to further mitigate risk by easily understanding whether they are compliant, if there are any policy violations, such as employee misuse or if there are any attempts to move or copy confidential data or Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from the network.
Financial service organizations will greatly appreciate the consistent, extremely scalable, proactive long term benefits found in netReplay® rack-mounted recorders as well as the mobility and quick deployment provided by the netReplay 2500® PORTABLE.

While netReplay® has the ability to reassemble data that has already been collected in full packet capture sessions such as Wireshark (Ethereal) or tcpdump, IT security staff can quickly move from a reactive "capture everything" mode to a much more effective proactive "collect, monitor and analyze" approach by using netReplay® from the onset (on live network connections).
netReplay® will increase the effectiveness of the security and compliance team by providing a high level of precision on the data it is collecting and analyzing as well as complying with any legal requirements, such as privacy, employee rights and legal and statutory limitations.
