Banks maintain sensitive information that they work hard to protect. As consumers and businesses rely more on electronic devices to bank and shop online, ensuring availability and security of evolving systems is critical to a bank’s success. The strict secu - rity and compliance standards required of banks also make operating IT more complex. IP Services solves these challenges by using an integrated set of pro- cesses and controls to ensure uninterrupted systems and business performance while adhering to strict compliance and security requirements. IP Services is also endorsed by the Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Montana Bankers Associations. “We are excited to welcome IP Services as the newest endorsed partner of New Mexico Banking Association. They will bring tremendous value to our member banks by way of providing superior manage- ment of their critical IT systems,” said NMBA Presi - dent Jason Wyatt. “Virtually every banking member in New Mexico share their concern about exposure to data breaches and the negative impact such an event would have on their customers and the financial reputation that would follow. They have a unique ability to manage and secure IT that is cost effective and demonstrates an ability to mitigate IT risk while demonstrating compliance on an on-going basis.” “IP Services is excited to partner with NMBA and build relationships with New Mexico banks”, said Scott Alldridge, CEO of IP Services. “We look forward to helping New Mexico banks improve availability, comply with audit and compliance requirements, and bridge the gap between business and IT strategies.” IP Services proactively manages clients' cyberse- curity and critical IT systems and applications in any datacenter using the VisibleOpsTM methodology and the quality control system we created called TotalCon- trol™.
