Network Security & Industry Compliance

Regulations, industry consolidation, and business requirements have brought about digital information security challenges. Laws and regulations have developed to address network security. HyGuard realizes the challenges these regulations pose, and is dedicated to ensuring that your organization’s network security infrastructure complies with your specific industry regulations. The Gramm Leach Bliley (GLB) Act, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) all require their respective industry sectors to create, document, monitor, and ensure security of their internal control procedures. Today’s economy is highly digitalized; therefore the majority of internal procedures are performed through various forms of information technologies. The Gramm Leach Bliley Act, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act each have different specifications, but have similar enterprise requirements in the following areas:

• Must implement precise security policies for data privacy and protection.
• Must employ security procedures to protect data from attackers.
• Must undertake all necessary preventative measures such as encryption, and real time detection in order to prevent data attacks.

HyGuard’s NetiSafe is easily customized to meet the specific needs of your regulatory environment.
