The Alpharetta, Ga.-based Safe Systems has announced that its NetComply+ solution, a cloud-based toolset for managing and monitoring credit unions' growth, compliance demands and security requirements from a central location, is now available.
“NetComply+ is designed with customization in mind,” Jaime Davis, vice president of education, product management and quality control at Safe Systems, said. “This solution is for financial institutions that may have larger internal IT departments, or wish to have shared control over its IT management. This solution is built to be a one-stop shop for managing a Windows environment in a compliant and scalable fashion.”
The cloud-based service gives the financial institution complete control over the system itself, the company said. The institution's IT department can add users, update and patch machines, or write their own scripts to roll out to any of their devices, such as desktop computers, laptops and servers. Since there is no limit as to how many users can be added, financial institutions with active growth strategies can quickly scale up without the need to undertake a major project to do so. Safe Systems houses all of its hardware on a secure data center, and a small piece of software installed on every machine in-house communicates back to Safe Systems and provides machine management capabilities.
NetComply+ features include remote control, event log monitoring, and patching for both Windows and applications such as historically vulnerable programs, Adobe and Java. With compliance demands increasing, it is particularly important for credit unions to be able to prove that it has such controls that it has in place; NetComply+ is compliance-centric and provides extensive, customized reporting to help audits run more smoothly and keep credit unions on track, the company.
Making quick, enterprise-wide patch updates can be critical and overwhelming for any IT department – on February 10, for example, Microsoft released nine update bundles to plug at least 55 separate security vulnerabilities in its Windows operating system and other software, and three of the patches fixed Windows bugs that Microsoft considered critical.
“Safe Systems has a history of developing the right tools for our customers that their IT needs demand,” Darren Bridges, president of Safe Systems, said. “We saw that there was a gap in IT management and monitoring capabilities for institutions in the industry that were growing at a rapid. We knew we needed to provide a solution to our banking and credit union customers that gave them the standard reporting and management tools, without compromising the institution's ability to enhance or build their own IT management tools using our framework.”
