28 JULY / AUGUST 2018 Find Peace of Mind In the area of cybersecurity Rod Lasley Vice President - Products & Services Indiana Bankers Association rlasley@indianabankers.org @rodlasley Infotex is a Preferred Service Provider of the Indiana Bankers Association and an IBA Diamond Associate Member. PSP SHOWCASE Infotex, a longtime IBA Preferred Service Provider and Diamond Associate Member, attributes its success and longevity to the ever-growing importance of cybersecurity. Dan Hadaway, managing partner, says: “The IBA has introduced Infotex to banks throughout the state, and we have been able to assist them in many areas regarding information technology risk management.” Dan regularly teaches many of the IBA’s IT-related courses, plus moderates the annual IBA Cybersecurity Conference. Additionally, Dan has been watching bank networks since 2003. The Infotex network monitoring service, called a SIEM (security incident event management) system, has grown in sophistication to include services that help banks respond to many audit and examination findings, as well as full maturity in many of the controls called for by the cybersecurity assessment tool (primarily domains 2, 3 and 5). SIEM includes an intrusion prevention and detection system, an event log management system, a change detection system, web defacement monitoring, and vulnerability management against a security baseline that is established in the deployment process. The unique offering of the system and user monitoring features help address common examination findings regarding the areas of “monitoring the monitor.” Many small banks do not have enough personnel to fully segregate duties, but Infotex clients appreciate the segregation benefits of the company’s monitoring services. Not only does the SIEM provide visibility into network event logs coming from servers, domain controllers and other traditional devices, but it has been bringing logs from critical applications, such as email, teller systems, mortgage origination applications, mobile and internet banking applications, and more. This allows complete visibility into potential issues on an around-the-clock basis. Because the company provides monitoring services, it has been in the Technology Service Provider examination program of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, and is regularly on the receiving end of examinations and audits. This understanding of the process undoubtedly helps when Infotex provides audit services, risk assessments, IT management practice reviews, or an internet banking control review to your bank. You can have the peace of mind that Infotex knows what needs to be reviewed to be prepared for any IT-related examination. Infotex offers third-party cybersecurity assessments using the Cybersecurity Assessment Tool, information technology audit services, external penetration testing and internal network scanning, social engineering testing, Gramm-LeachBliley Act risk assessment, IT governance, internet banking controls review, physical security and environmental controls review, business continuity plan testing, network configuration audit, vendor due diligence review, and web application security review. Dan Hadaway and his team can also assist with various areas of consulting services and awareness training. Infotex has provided custom training to users, boards of directors, and at commercial customer appreciation events. The company also trains management teams in complex processes such as vendor due diligence, technology risk management, incident response and data classification. Additionally it offers policies and procedure templates for your use and can assist you in adapting them to fit your institution. As you continue strengthening your bank’s cybersecurity position, remember that Infotex can help you in many different ways.
