Colonial Federal Savings Bank:

Colonial Federal Savings Bank is a federally chartered financial institution with regional offices in three New England towns near Boston, Massachusetts.

Colonial Federal Savings Bank wanted to take a more proactive approach to FDIC guidelines, be better prepared for quarterly and annual audits and to harden their network against exploiters who might attack known vulnerabilities. Their privacy and security programs are regulated and reviewed by the FDIC, they must comply with GLBA and other banking regulations and they also ensure the privacy of your information by employing secure systems. Colonial Federal Savings Bank was also seeking to ensure the integrity and reliability of their computer network. To verify the networks status, bank leaders realized they needed to be aware of new possible vulnerabilities on a daily basis and test for them as the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) become known. By regularly testing the network, they could remediate any CVEs found before an attacker could attempt to exploit them.

Colonial Federal Savings Bank chose to deploy a NACwall Enterprise appliance throughout our network as an additional layer of security. Although we yearly employ third-party vulnerability assessments it was important for Colonial Federal to understand where potential vulnerabilities exist in a timely manner to ensure the integrity of our network. Colonial Federal proudly maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard our members' non-public personal information.

Regularly scheduled audits and automated reporting help them tune their network, protect their customers and supply Colonial Federal with a preemptive overview of their system.

"Agent-less Network Access Control (NAC) is a necessity, as it ensures that IT knows about anything that connects to the network and potentially introduces threats. We have a number of vendors, auditors, and government regulators that may plug in and generate a threat to the network. Due diligence dictates that we analyze and act on the vulnerabilities immediately and stop high risk or untrusted systems from accessing our network resources. NetClaritys NACwall does all this for us, quickly, easily and most effectively."
