InfoWatch Solutions for the Banking and Financial Sector
InfoWatch's many years of experience in working with leading financial companies have
enabled it to create a solution that takes full account of the specific nature and challenges
faced by the industry. In particular, a Content Filtering Database (CFD) for Banks, which is
constantly updated, has been created, providing the highest levels of efficiency in detecting
confidential information sent outside the bank.
The CFD for Banks contains a rich selection of terms and phrases specific to the day-to-day
operations of Russian and foreign banking departments. During its creation, both internal
security policies operated by financial institutions and regulatory acts, standards and
recommendations for working with confidential information were taken into account. As such,
the use of the CFD for Banks will not only help banks to protect data from negligent employees
or insider activity, but also to comply with legislative requirements.
InfoWatch tracks changes in the processes and standards used by the banking industry and
regularly issues updates to the CFD for Banks, adding content that will help to identify the
latest and most sophisticated attempts at unauthorized distribution of confidential information.
The 'Templates Analyzer' technology used in InfoWatch Traffic Monitor is designed to detect
alphanumeric characters in data templates and enables highly effective identification of
instances where personal data or financial information is being forwarded. Moreover, this
technology can be used as a secondary means of identifying instances of unauthorized transfer
of internal documents containing formalized data laid out according to a specific template (for
example, contracts or accounts in the case of detection of banking credentials, classifier codes,
etc). The solution comes with a selection of predefined text templates that may be used as the
basis for the creation of a security policy. The list includes:
 credit card numbers;
 passport numbers;
 telephone numbers;
 email addresses;
 bank identification codes (SWIFT);
 international securities identification codes;
 National classification codes, etc
