needs, the bank's systems required a vigorous defense against intrusions by viruses,
hackers, and spammers, which can cripple system performance, damage data integrity, or
even involve wholesale data theft. Outgoing information also had to be controlled to protect
the bank's business information and customers' confidential data from improper distribution.

Longer term effects of intrusions or data loss include damaged reputation with
customers and even potential law suits.
In addition, the extensive legal requirements specific to banking are in force. These
requirements include audits, which can be expensive to administer without proper
reporting by the security system. Auditors require information sets that must be collated
and delivered on schedule. After an audit, the bank must respond to any reported
"material risks," which are areas of vulnerability in the bank's processes and
procedures, including systems.
These business and legal requirements challenge banks of any size, but particularly
smaller ones with limited IT resources, such as TNBANK.
Technical
Response
Integracon applied a combination of hardware and software tools to meet TNBANK's
needs. The solution set relied heavily on "security appliances" that are
hardware/software black boxes that function with very little user intervention and a low
total cost of ownership, which is ideal for smaller entities.
