Cloud Computing Security for Financial Institutions in Aruba

In today’s increasingly digital era, financial institutions are faced with numerous networking and security challenges. These include:

  • Digitization and cloud migration
  • Working from home
  • Poor network infrastructure
  • Cybersecurity risks
  • Regulatory compliance

To tackle these challenges and accelerate business growth, financial services organizations must adopt innovative solutions that enable secure and reliable connectivity.

Simplifying Network Infrastructure while Reducing Costs

Aruba’s EdgeConnect SD-WAN platform is a key enabler in simplifying network infrastructure for financial institutions while reducing costs. By combining:

  • MPLS
  • Broadband internet
  • 5G/LTE connections into a single logical link, EdgeConnect optimizes data transmission using advanced techniques such as:
    • Forward error correction
    • Packet order correction

Additionally, Local Internet Breakout allows cloud application traffic to be sent directly to the internet based on security risk, freeing up dedicated MPLS lines and reducing costs.

Quickly Spinning Up New Branches and Working from Home Securely

Aruba’s EdgeConnect SD-WAN enables financial institutions to quickly spin up new branches and remote workers securely. With its zero-touch provisioning approach, a new branch can be deployed in just a few days through centralized orchestration of configuration settings and security policies.

Accelerating Backups and Improving Disaster Recovery Plans

Aruba’s Boost WAN optimization software, fully unified with EdgeConnect, accelerates data backups and improves disaster recovery plans for financial institutions. By reducing latency and improving throughput, financial organizations can ensure that data is properly backed up in remote locations and quickly restored in the event of a disaster.

Securing Access and Protecting Customer Data

With the rise of mobility, security perimeters are dissolving, and customers and employees connect to financial services applications from anywhere. Aruba’s EdgeConnect provides secure access and protects customer data by implementing a zero-trust approach that:

  • Identifies users and devices
  • Assumes they should not be trusted by default

Meeting PCI DSS Compliance Mandates

Aruba’s EdgeConnect SD-WAN platform helps financial institutions meet PCI DSS compliance mandates by:

  • Encrypting transmission of cardholder data over public networks
  • Installing and maintaining firewall configurations to protect cardholder data

By simplifying network infrastructure, reducing costs, and improving security, Aruba EdgeConnect enables financial institutions to fully embrace digital transformation while mitigating cybersecurity risks.
