MONETT, Mo., June 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry
& Associates, Inc.® (NASDAQ:JKHY) is a leading
provider of technology solutions and payment processing services
primarily for the financial services industry. Today, its
ProfitStars® division announced the availability of
Gladiator® Virtual Information Security
Officer™ (vISO). These services provide financial
institutions ongoing access to Gladiator certified experts with the
knowledge and experience to help them develop, implement, and
maintain a scalable information security program.
In the current cybersecurity environment, it can be difficult
for financial institutions to find the level of information
security expertise necessary to meet ever-changing regulatory,
compliance, and business-driven demands. Even when potential
employees with the appropriate certifications and experience are
secured, it is often difficult and expensive to maintain their
employment. Gladiator vISO services allow financial institutions to
deepen the breadth of knowledge and expertise on their team, while
adding a layer of independence between information technology and
information security activities.
Sue Ozburn, EVP and chief
information officer of Cashmere Valley Bank, explained, "The
geographical restraints of our central Washington-based bank made it challenging to
recruit the right talent for today's complex security landscape.
With Gladiator vISO, we're able to harness top talent in a cost
effective, productive way. The Gladiator experts help us prioritize
our tasks and define best security practices on an ongoing basis,
helping ensure that proper reviews, reporting and testing are all
completed efficiently and on time. Jack
Henry & Associates is one of our most important
technology partners, and we're confident in Gladiator's ability to
keep our infrastructure protected."
Gladiator vISO includes regular monthly or quarterly meetings
with the Gladiator team to discuss changes to the security
landscape, regulatory concerns, overall security strategy and
recommendations on topics to talk over with the board of directors.
This thorough collaboration and planning helps ensure that
financial institutions' operations are in line with their overall
risk strategies.
Russ Bernthal, president of
ProfitStars, commented, "Regulatory guidance and overall vigilance
require financial institutions to address the role of an
Information Security Officer. Meeting this demand through a trusted
partner alleviates the burden of competing for this very specific
skill set. Gladiator Virtual Information Security Officer is
another great example of how ProfitStars is working with financial
institutions to meet regulatory, compliance, and security demands
with ease and efficiency. The scalable offering gives banks and
credit unions of all sizes the ability to better address security
requirements and meet industry best practices."
