Security and Performance with Managed Cloud Hosting
Financial services organizations are embracing cloud-based solutions eliminating legacy information silos and unneeded data duplication efforts creating a centralized audit trail. This centralized system aids in managing security and compliance efforts. A centralized data repository also promotes the ability to use business analytics and performance management software that will improve key performance indicators (KPI’s) for all elements of a financial services organization.
Financial organizations operating in this type of cloud environment can create significant value for their customers and gain an advantage over their competitors. To get the most out of these enabling technologies, a proactive plan for monitoring cloud storage capacity and network performance must be established and maintained. This includes regular patching, updates of virus protection programs, network performance testing, security monitoring and many more activities.
Synoptek Managed Services has designed, implemented and managed cloud-based environments connecting almost every kind of device and application to a centralized data repository including; networks, servers, desktop PCs and mobile devices for many financial services organizations.
