SUCCESS STORY

Bank of New Madrid

Name of Client:

Bank of New Madrid

Market Segment:

Financial Institution

Challenge or Opportunity:

Bank of New Madrid is a real community bank servicing New Madrid, Portageville, Lilbourn, and the surrounding areas. With multiple branches and ATM facilities, they are required by state and federal regulations to demonstrate that they have solutions in place to block network attacks and protect customer information – and they must provide detailed records of security events and responses. These regulations are especially challenging for smaller institutions with limited IT resources.

Solution:

Bank of New Madrid has chosen Cisco Security MARS to provide for blocking network attacks and protecting customer information, and for providing detail and summary security event/response reporting. The BattleChest and Time Block services from Technology and Networking’s expert team supplement their current IT staff.

Results/Benefit:

Technology and Networking, which has been providing IT services since 1997, worked with Bank of New Madrid on the initial installation, configuration and integration of Cisco Security MARS and continues to work by maintaining/upgrading their security systems and reporting tools. Technology and Networking also identified several minor changes to maximize the effectiveness of their overall security posture and enhance their response and reporting capabilities.

Today, Bank of New Madrid has much stronger, more proactive, and more intelligent network defenses. They can easily meet compliance objectives with all state and federal information security regulations - and they can better protect their customers’ information.

Myres (Skipper) Cowan, IT Manager and Network Administrator for Bank of New Madrid, was quoted stating "TAN has helped me on numerous occasions and stayed with me till the problems were fixed. Service is second to none, and they are always ready to go the extra mile to take care of my needs. All in all dealing with TAN has always been a Great Experience!"

Where Bank of New Madrid’s IT resources could become overwhelmed in maintaining/upgrading their security systems, the services provided by Technology and Networking let their IT staff focus on using their security systems to ensure the safety of their financial products and services while meeting federal and state regulations.
