01 Challenge
HellasFin is an established firm in Greek finance and wealth management. Hundreds of clients entrust their assets to the company, and its portfolio under management exceeds €100 million.
Its IT systems process hundreds of financial transactions every day. The security of these systems and the confidentiality of client data are therefore not optional – they are a regulatory and business requirement. Management was looking for a new cyber-defence solution, combined with specialised security services.
- Protection for systems that process hundreds of transactions daily
- Confidentiality of client and financial data under regulatory supervision
- Secure connectivity between the headquarters and a growing branch network
- Professional operation by a managed security provider that responds to incidents
02 Solution
HellasFin operates its own data centre at its headquarters in Thessaloniki and has more than 80 users at three locations across Greece. The company chose NETHEON for its cybersecurity expertise and because NETHEON was the only managed security provider to offer a UTM platform made in Europe: LANCOM Systems, a German manufacturer and part of the Rohde & Schwarz group.
- Headquarters: a unified firewall protects the data centre and acts as the central system.
- Branches: each location is equipped with its own unified firewall and connected to the headquarters via encrypted VPN tunnels.
- Security functions: firewall, intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS), deep packet inspection, SSL inspection, virus and malware protection and web content filtering.
- Managed security services: all appliances are connected to NETHEON's 24/7 SOC/NOC, which manages, maintains and monitors them and acts immediately on unusual traffic.
03 Outcome
With LANCOM UTM technology and NETHEON's managed security services, HellasFin meets its own high security standards and the applicable regulatory requirements.
- Compliance: security controls that meet the regulatory requirements of a financial services firm.
- Secure branch network: all locations are connected to the headquarters over encrypted tunnels.
- Continuous protection: threats are detected and countered around the clock.
- Focus: the internal IT department can concentrate on daily business while NETHEON operates the security infrastructure.
