Since BFSI clients desire the highest level of data confidentiality & privacy where security is concerned, the recently launched IAAS – Infrastructure as a Service by Zicom proves to be the perfect solution.
Bank branch deals with a lot of confidential transactions like gold, cash, loans, deposits, etc, naturally, customers of which few may be HNI would expect the bank to provide the highest level of privacy and security for these transactions.
As security is not their domain of expertise, Banks prefer to out-source the entire security to the third party with requisite domain knowledge. However, the bank is unsure about third party CMS to provide the desired level of data security as they cater to multiple banks who are their competitors
To achieve the above objective banks have 2 options, one is to set-up a captive monitoring station within their premises and second is to outsource it to professionals who would guarantee the desired level of data security & privacy for their customer data
Bank finds it expensive to set-up a captive monitoring station within their premises bank finds whereas the out-sourcing is the perfect solution for the current issues.
