Business Pain-Points
Bank Victoria was looking for a comprehensive security system with a high availability capacity to reduce the impact and risk of downtime. The establishment needed an advanced solution to protect the network from viruses and malware threats – such as preventative security policies to block any threats from accessing the network.
Additionally, the bank sought better visibility of internet usage to monitor and control application access on the network.
Finally, Bank Victoria required an advanced and integrated IT solution that could be easily managed and maintained.
Sangfor Solution
Sangfor suggested the use of the Next Generation Firewall (NGAF), which contains features such as Neural-X - fitted with global threat intelligence. Coupled with Engine Zero and its advanced AI capabilities, the integration of both of these features drastically elevates network protection and enables an automated security response to incoming threats - as well as an automatic failover system in the event of link failure.
The Sangfor Next Generation Firewall (NGAF) helped Bank Victoria encrypt their network traffic effectively by installing VPN tunnels and monitoring the system through both signature and AI-based security engines - increasing the company's overall cybersecurity. The firewall solution also minimized the risk of downtime in the event of network failure by automatically defining the best path with a better connection.
Additionally, Sangfor proposed the use of the Internet Access Gateway (IAG) platform to improve user visibility on the consumption of company resources - such as bandwidth. The platform helped to understand user behavior better to define strategic policies that enhanced the business experience. The gateway solution efficiently managed user and internet limitations for the bank by giving them the ability to monitor and control application access.
The Internet Access Gateway also provided the advanced flexibility to generate reports with details of internet utilization, top-ranking application access, URL usage, user logins, and any uploads or downloads made using the network.
The Internet Access Gateway enabled Bank Victoria to monitor user internet access activities and increase its security by allowing them to prioritize critical and non-critical applications within the network.
Finally, the Sangfor monitoring dashboard provided a comprehensive and detailed interface for the bank with enough details to identify potential threats, as well as the user history access and connection availability.
