Managing Endpoint Compliance in Banking and Finance

The banking industry operates under a complex network of IT compliance standards. There are global standards such as Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and International Organization for Standardization (ISO 27001), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). There are also regional standards such as the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Cyber Security Framework. All these compliance standards aim to ensure data security, protect customer privacy, maintain financial stability, and strengthen endpoint security to protect against cyber attacks.

HCL BigFix is a powerful solution to support these standards, either directly or indirectly. It has been the bedrock on which countless financial institutions have successfully implemented security frameworks or met with stringent security regulations. A multitude of compliance mandates – comprehensive device inventory, ensuring secure system configurations, obviating unauthorized software, rapid vulnerability remediation and effective patch management – can all be effectively fulfilled via HCL BigFix.
