Cybersecurity
Finance and Insurance
For VÚB Bank, a member of the Intesa Sanpaolo group, ensuring a highest level of security has been one of its key priorities for quite some time. This effort has resulted in the implementation of a set of security measures. This is why the bank has implemented a system for the controlled access of external contractors to its network environment through a virtual private network (VPN). In the second phase, Soitron, the bank’s traditional network technology provider, implemented controlled access over the wireless network as well. In the third phase, the company decided to modernize the controlled access to the bank’s network via a cable connection in the building.
