Financial Institutions Prevent Data Loss at the Source

For financial services professionals who must comply with regulations such as the GLBA, Red Flags Rule, and PCI-DSS, protect the privacy of sensitive personal information, employment data and financial records, Identity Finder is a sensitive data discovery and protection software product that finds and secures customer and employee personal information quickly, accurately, and affordably.

Unlike traditional data security suites, Identity Finder searches for and protects personal information at its source, finding forgotten personal information on any network system. Whether your computer is infected, lost, stolen, or hacked, Identity Finder ensures your data is safe and prevents breaches before they happen. The unmatched accuracy of our AnyFind™ technology utilizes advanced proprietary algorithms incorporating contextual analysis, proximity checks, validations, industry checksums, minimum counts, and a variety of user customizable settings.

Even if you store all PCI data in a secure data environment protected by a small army of security professionals, sensitive information leaks on a daily basis. Each time sensitive data is copied from one place to another, it is more likely to be accidentally exposed by mistake, or stolen by a malicious outsider. Consider these common examples:

• Spreadsheets: An employee forwards a copy of an Excel file containing account numbers to a manager, who saves a copy on her hard drive.
• Lost Laptop: A human resources employee loses a laptop containing social security numbers, payment information, addresses, and other contact information.
• Internal Databases: A contractor uses real credit card numbers and dates of birth to test a new database application, inadvertently exposing the information online.
• USB and Flash Drives: An employee personnel backs up a few documents to a USB drive to take home, not realizing it contains customer login details.
• Old Notes: A customer calls in an order over the phone and gives his credit card number to an employee, who types it into a text file on his computer. He saves the file and later forgets to shred it.

Smart financial services professionals trust Identity Finder DLP as the premiere data discovery and protection tool. The Identity Finder DLP Console manages centralized reporting and remote administration, remediation, and scheduling while the Identity Finder DLP Endpoint allows employees to take direct action and prevent breaches. These tools were designed to work flawlessly in decentralized banks, insurance companies, and other financial services companies, settings with multiple IT policies, and heterogeneous network topologies.

Identity Finder has built an industry-specific solution for financial services professionals, so they can reduce false positive results, total cost of ownership, and manual efforts. At the core is Identity Finder’s highly accurate AnyFind™ algorithm. The proprietary technology allows Identity Finder to find multiple pieces of sensitive data such as SSNs, Dates of Birth, financial records, transcripts, credit histories, medical histories, contact information, and many others.
