At Samlink, client security is our top priority. As banking systems face heightened security demands, we ensure robust resilience measures that empower banks to seize new digital opportunities safely. Our risk-based approach instills confidence, enabling clients to thrive in a secure, evolving technological landscape.
In today’s digital landscape, financial businesses face a growing range of cyber threats. At Samlink, we start by identifying risks and then applying necessary controls to protect our clients. Our security measures are guided by client agreements, regulatory requirements, and our cybersecurity and privacy standards, all designed to prevent disruptions and secure client data.
In the event of a cyber incident, our team responds quickly to minimize impact, maintaining high availability, security, and reliability to meet your ongoing needs.
At every step, we prioritize the right risk-based level of security to give you peace of mind.
Operational Security is about the day-to-day security measures that must be in place and followed up to protect sensitive information. At Samlink, we are working with a five-step approach related to operational security activities: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover.
We proactively secure user workstations with a range of security features that mitigate risks, such as malicious code and unauthorized access. Our team actively monitors the network, permitting only approved traffic to flow in and out. We safeguard our servers by applying techniques that strictly limit access from unauthorized sources.
We use firewalls to filter traffic between our internal network and the internet, ensuring only secure communication. Our team actively safeguards against denial-of-service attacks by monitoring and implementing preventive measures to keep your data safe from attempts to overwhelm our servers.
We regularly scan our entire environment to identify vulnerabilities that may impact Samlink and our clients. By following a risk-based approach, we prioritize vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited, allowing us to stay ahead of potential threats. Our team collaborates with you to identify critical business functions and systems, developing contingency plans that ensure swift recovery in the event of an incident.
“In the end clients measure us on our resilience against cyber threats and our capability to quickly restore services again.”
