Firewall Security Pays Dividends for Arizona Financial Institution

Overview

Round-the-clock banking has become a standard expectation among customers, compelling most financial institutions to expand their banking services to include online delivery. Arizona State Savings & Credit Union (AZSTCU) was anxious to capitalize on that trend, but not before it could ensure the security of its online transactions and strong protection for its internal network. It deployed Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server because ISA offers granular control over incoming and outgoing traffic, disguises internal server IP addresses to external users, and controls and documents who can access the Internet from its internal network. As a result, AZSTCU has been able to prevent attacks, reduce business costs, and expand its market reach with little incremental cost.
