Mobile workstations for banks + insurance companies

Driven by a globalized economy, an increasing skill shortage and a growing awareness for work-family life balance, banks face surging challenges concerning the flexibility of working hours and work locations. Previously compartmentalized applications and systems must therefore be made externally accessible while still complying with the highest security requirements.

Banks are a particularly lucrative target, not only for financial, but also for political reasons, as they play a vital role in our economy. The challenge is to implement an external access to central IT systems in the different application areas while meeting the highest IT security requirements.

ECOS offers a wide range of solutions for secure remote data access for the banking and insurance indusrty.

Remote access workflow banks and insurance companies

Workflow for banks and insurance companies:

Typical application scenarios:

Home office

To promote work-family life balance and support mobile employees, part- and full-time home office offers many benefits and results in improved productivity.

However, tight budgets frequently don't allow employees company notebooks. Moreover, they would also take up too much additional space on the desk at home. Solutions are needed that allow the use of private PCs while observing the highest security requirements, data protection regulations, and policies regarding the use of private hardware.

Application scenario Senior employees in banks and insurance companies

Senior staff

Executives endeavor to work after office hours, on weekends, and sometimes even during their vacation and therefore need access to all relevant systems and applications.

Since it isn’t everyone's cup of tea to permanently carry around a company notebook, highly secure access from a private or even public PC should be warranted at any time.

Application Scenario Controller at Banks and Insurance Companies

Controllers and auditors

Because of their cross-functional analysis, controllers and auditors need broad access to all systems of the company.

They represent a particularly attractive target for hackers, industrial espionage attacks or espionage attacks from other nations, which is why their external access requires a high security level

Application scenario Emergency scenario for banks and insurance companies

Emergency workplaces

In times of global climate change, increasing extreme weather events, growing risk of pandemics, rise of blockades and terrorist attacks, the banking sector must be able to warrant emergency operations.

While IT systems are usually redundant, the staff's workstations are not. An immediate, but nevertheless secure use concept for private PCs should be part of any prevention plan.
