FIBERLINK

As a trusted financial technology partner for over 10,000 clients in over 80 countries, eFunds was looking for data security for their 600 mobile end-users. They found a trusted partner of their own: Fiberlink.

Challenge:
Today, more transactions are made in the U.S. with credit and debit cards as well as electronic transfers than by cash or checks. eFunds is a financial technologies company that provides secure commerce solutions to retailers, banks, and other customers. Over half of eFunds’ revenue comes from managing electronic-payment transactions for their customers, which include more than 10,000 clients across 80 countries. If someone is moving money in North America today, chances are that their money is being moved by software owned or managed by eFunds.

eFunds had already invested significant effort and expense to secure its IT infrastructure. Once the infrastructure was secured, it became necessary to look at the devices that the individual users were using on a day-to-day basis. Jones added, "This obviously was our biggest potential entry point for viruses and Trojans. We were also concerned that it would be an exit point for data to leak out of our systems. The problem wasn’t if it would happen, but rather when and to whom."

Solution:
For securing their mobile endpoints, eFunds chose Fiberlink’s Extend360 solution to help provide the protection and control they needed. "To complete the security picture, we needed to find the right tools,” said Jones. “The Extend360 Mobility Platform combined with at-rest encryption gives me everything I need. Now we have the ability to manage what happens at the laptop, report on it, and then apply the appropriate protection."

Results:
For eFunds, security and protection will continue to be a top priority for the company and its customers. With Fiberlink’s Extend360 solution, eFunds’ goal of achieving insight into activities on 100% of its mobile devices everywhere in the world is within sight. According to Jones, "the best metric for the success of this effort is that we can be confident that no laptop that has been outside of our network will ever threaten the eFunds network or the eFunds brand."
