TRACESECURITY NAMED CUNA'S EXCLUSIVE STRATEGIC PROVIDER FOR SECURITY COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENTS
MADISON, Wis. and BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – Credit unions can gain valuable insight into their potential network security vulnerabilities and ensure compliance in related issues through a strategic alliance between CUNA and TraceSecurity.
TraceSecurity’s full spectrum of security assessments and services help credit unions stay ahead of evolving network security threats and in compliance with the latest government regulations. Because it is strictly a security compliance assessment vendor, versus a combined managed security services and assessment company, credit unions are assured of unbiased auditing.
The security compliance assessments not only uncover network vulnerabilities, but also include suggested countermeasures to resolve these areas of concern. The assessments, coupled with security training and other services, help credit unions to maintain rigorous compliance standards while ensuring critical network integrity.
The strategic alliance offers the following products for credit unions:
- Security Assessments – this in-depth audit includes an internal/external, onsite/remote vulnerability assessment, regulatory compliance audit, physical security review and other components to determine the adequacy of existing security measures and regulatory compliance; comprehensive reports are then generated for the technical IT staff, management, board of directors and examiners.
- Penetration Testing – during these random, unannounced tests, experts mimic the actions of attackers perpetrating an actual attack on the network to uncover security vulnerabilities.
- Application Testing – manual tests examine the security of online applications to uncover any potential points of weakness and ensure they are secured at the source.
- Social Engineering – experts attempt to gain sensitive information or tangible objects through the manipulation and deception of people and events to help credit unions locate any possible weaknesses in policy or training.
- Security Training – comprehensive curriculum and custom tailored coursework ensure each credit union’s specific training goals are met.
- TraceSecurity Compliance Manager – this on-demand active server pages (ASP)-based product combines asset database information, policy monitoring, vulnerability information and compliance surveys to determine if an organization is meeting regulatory and compliance standards.
“We selected TraceSecurity for its broad security and compliance expertise, advanced, easy-to-use technologies and strong track record of customer satisfaction,” said Wes Millar, senior vice president of Strategic Services for CUNA.
“We’re truly honored to join CUNA Strategic Services’ program as their exclusive security compliance assessment provider,” said Pete Stewart, CEO of TraceSecurity. “Our comprehensive assessments make it easy for credit unions to stay ahead of dynamic security threats and continually changing regulatory demands. We’re eager to work with credit unions to alleviate their compliance burden.”
