- Advanced security: Cisco Meraki provides advanced safety features, such as threat detection and response, content filtering and access control, which can help FIS meet the regulatory requirements around data security.
Cisco ACI
Cisco Centric (ACI) infrastructure is a software defined network solution that provides automation and centralized policies for data centers. It provides a range of benefits for FIS, including the help of topics to meet the regulatory requirements. Some of the benefits of Cisco ACI for FIS in this regard include:
- Network segmentation: implicit in ACI is the construction of consciousness and segmentation based on the application in group policy based on standards. This allows a frame for the macro and micro segmentation using traditional network -based constructions or a more advanced applications classification. Through the use of an approach driven by the model for segmentation, it allows FIS to guarantee that segmentation constructions are consistent in a class of applications and apply in ASIC or by service devices sewn in the network fabric.
- Compliance reports: As part of the Cisco reference design for safe data centers, ACI offers the ability to inform about hardware and software versions, as well as safety constructions used within the fabric, either through native tools, or by creating tools kits created. Even through through through through through through over it is through through through through through through through through
- Automation and orchestration: Cisco ACI was built from top to bottom as an orchestration platform driven by the model to allow all network constructions to be programmed and orchestrated as objects in the model. ACI has implicit automation and orchestration, and exposes all this functionality through API to allow third -party products to conform to the solution.
- Improved Security: Cisco ACI provides advanced safety characteristics, such as network segmentation, policy -based access control and threat detection and response, which can help financial institutions meet the regulatory requirements around data safety.
- Scalability and performance: Cisco ACI has a line speed performance and exceptional scalability to meet the most demanding environments. Evolutions such as multiple PODs and multiple sites fabrics allow fabrics not only covering geography, but also increase scalability by allowing mobility between one or more areas of availability.
In conclusion
The FFIEC blog series has focused on the summary and evaluation of the regulatory environment facing IT organizations through the lens of how it affects these organizations and the corresponding technologies to help. In my 15 years that serve the financial services space, the regulatory world only has more challenges, but this is due to the real risk of the real world and the evolution of the industrialization of the landscape of threats in double and profitable business models. The level of technical risk faced by FIS is at all times and will continue to evolve while fis “where the money is.” The regulatory environment does not solve this, but it is an attempt to guarantee some level of control and consistency. To help meet these requirements, Cisco has invested billions of dollars in the safety and safety of our platforms.
The extensibility of these platforms in an API in the north direction allows the best class functionality of all these systems from the campus to the WAN, while interopening using standard -based protocols and applying a multiple domain policy. This approach promotes flexibility and functionality without obligation, helping organizations unlock the maximum potential of their investments to solve their current and future commercial problems.
