IT Security specialists Ballintrae and Bradford Networks have partnered to provide financial services organisations with comprehensive network access control (NAC) solutions that enable secure Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).
BYOD increases the attack surface of a network by orders of magnitude. With the current debate raging about security and the release of restricted client data, this partnership will enable Ballintrae to give its global financial services clients peace of mind about the security of their networks, and access to sensitive information.
Ballintrae is a specialist IT consultancy firm focusing on the financial services industry. The company has been proactively advising its international clients on security trends for many years, helping them to meet stringent compliance regulations and fight the ongoing battle against security threats while protecting access to sensitive customer data.
Ballintrae currently partners with a roster of leading security solutions including Fortinet and Algo Sec. Through this partnership Ballintrae adds Bradford Networks’ award-winning NAC solution, Network Sentry, to its portfolio of IT security products and services.
Steve Street, director of innovation at Ballintrae, said, "Security concerns continue to grow and the market for NAC solutions is being driven by increased staff mobility and the use of their own personal devices within a corporate network. Analysts predict this problem will only escalate. Ballintrae have unrivalled knowledge and experience within financial services organisations and we believe Bradford Networks offers the best network security solutions. Together we offer a powerful proposition!"
"With sensitive data, such as information about customers, transactions and mergers at stake, the financial services industry must be vigilant when implementing BYOD," said Charlie McAlister, EMEA sales manager, Bradford Networks.
"We are excited to be working with Ballintrae. They have strong and established relationships with financial institutions across the UK and Ireland, and our combined expertise will help address the acute challenges brought about by BYOD with comprehensive solutions that ensure the integrity of the network," he added.
