Banks, investment firms, and insurance companies are rapidly switching over to the next generation of IT security systems. The trend towards open global markets and the increase in IT security incidents have led to tougher security regulations and greater IT security needs. Although our financial solutions began as a way to solve the existing problems inherent within legacy systems, the ultimate goal is to implement a new IT system that is up-to-date with the leading financial environment in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
Although the timing, approach, and target may be different for each organization, the trends and characteristics for building the next generation IT environment are consistent among all financial institutions. Some of the recent characteristics of the next generation of financial systems include down-sizing the existing host platform to a UNIX platform, implementing an open platform for more effective development and maintenance, merging various bank channels towards Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), and the active use of TCP/IP platform based public networks, rather than Systems Network Architecture (SNA) or a finance specific network environment. Additionally, a large number of security measures are needed in order to enhance the internal and external vulnerability of the legacy financial environment.
In the next generation of financial systems, security considerations must be reflected in both design and implementation, from the very beginning stages of development. Penta Security’s security architecture has already been tested in the financial sector, and it has been proven to be an exceptionally functional and secure solution.
With the rapid changes that IT environments in the financial sector have undergone, IT security must guarantee ever more secure financial transactions.
Legacy environments did not take into consideration the modern security factor during their initial stages of development, thus creating fundamental vulnerabilities. Additionally, the administrators were not as aware of security issues as they are today. Previously, security solutions were implemented in a case-by-case basis, and only after a specific security issue or vulnerability had been discovered.
The next generation financial security system gives complete consideration to IT security in the initial developmental stages, which is reflected in both design and architecture. The next generation of security systems was designed to accommodate the security needs of the network, system, and application levels in a manner far superior to the legacy systems in terms of security. Our next generation financial security systems can boost customer confidence as well as be highly economical, as additional expenses due to security weaknesses can be avoided.

Enterprise Security Architecture presents the comprehensive methodology that is needed for the development and implementation of next generation security systems, and provides technical standards and constructive guidelines that can be immediately applied to security tasks. This can enable well managed and trained authentication, authorization, encryption, vulnerability detection, and more. The differences between a system based upon such architectural constructs from its earliest design stages and a system that has not taken such considerations will be drastic.
