Compliance, Secure Data & Affordability In One
Financial institutions are seeing an unprecedented increase in network attacks. Cyber-criminals capable of evading legacy security solutions are focusing on the financial industry and the treasure trove of information it holds. To combat this, network administrators must upgrade to next-generation firewalls and other appliances that are comprehensive and cost-effective. Protecting sensitive client data is just one issue in an industry where time is money. Ensuring speedy access to business-critical applications is just as important. Additionally, companies must comply with regulation including SOX, FINRA, GLB, and PCI DSS.
Untangle gives financial institutions everything they need in one powerful, affordable solution. Client data is safe, access to business-critical data is immediate, and satisfying compliance standards is simple.
Securing the Distributed Enterprise with Cloud-Managed Solutions
The challenges of network security for a single office location are magnified for distributed organizations. With more than 1.6 million branch offices in the U.S. alone, companies spend a combined $10 billion per year on branch networking solutions. From franchises to retail locations, headquarters to remote workers, the edge of network is a diverse patchwork of possible attack surfaces.
Untangle simplifies network security and internet connectivity across distributed organizations. NG Firewall and Command Center can help companies address security, bandwidth utilization, application performance, centralized management—all while controlling costs.
Enabling Compliance with Secured Data
Electronic Health Records (EHR) mandates are driving the adoption of connected devices at healthcare providers. Healthcare providers, organizations, and data warehouses must tightly control and secure patient health information (PHI) to ensure HIPAA and HITECH compliance. More devices on the network can also cause unpredictable spikes in traffic that limit mission-critical applications sending and receiving data.
Untangle enables the healthcare industry to be HIPAA and HITECH compliant with granular controls over who has access to what data, and includes built-in security to prevent data breaches and other headaches caused by malware. When every second counts, medical staff needs to feel confident that critical information will be available at their fingertips.
Balancing Security with Controlled Access
College students are bringing more connected devices on campus than ever before, using them to access more web-based applications and high-definition content every day. Their mobile, digital lifestyle has led to unpredictable spikes in network traffic that can bring school networks to a crawl at any given time. Attempts to solve the problem with expensive bandwidth upgrades have only led to increased bandwidth usage by students.
To get insatiable bandwidth usage under control, Untangle enables network administrators to prioritize access to online school systems and educational content, while controlling the delivery of entertainment and recreational content—some of which can not only introduce liability from illegal downloads, but also carry malware payloads. Students, staff and guests are protected from online threats, ensuring a secure and reliable internet connection for all users campus-wide.
Providing a High Level of Service Cost-Effectively
Wi-Fi is now the top amenity customers want. It’s mandatory for businesses to provide a high level of service cost-effectively. While most hospitality organizations have deployed Wi-Fi, having it available is just the first step. Ensuring a secure and reliable Internet connection for all users is the real difference between Wi-Fi being a success or failure.
With Untangle, providing a secure and reliable wireless connection is simple and the benefits are clear. Customers will have the convenience to safely go online wherever they are located on the property. Basic Internet access can be provided for free, and if higher bandwidth is needed, tiered service offerings can be made available. For back-office operations, businesses can prioritize Internet traffic for reservation systems, administration tools, point-of-sale and more to provide a high level of service regardless of where the transaction occurs.
Providing Powerful and Affordable Solutions
Nonprofits face many of the same challenges as for-profit businesses, such as securing their networks and data while keeping their staff safe and productive. But often, nonprofits have tighter operational budgets and even fewer resources to deal with IT infrastructure, online security, and secure data issues.
To make sure that network security doesn’t take a backseat to other budget needs, Untangle provides nonprofit organizations with the same powerful, easy-to-use solutions that it sells to businesses, but with special pricing to fit those tighter budgets.
