The financial industry has traditionally been plagued by silos in the workforce, technological infrastructure, and operational processes. To meet the demands of an increasingly complex threat landscape and evolving customer needs, financial institutions require enterprise-class, centralised security systems that not only safeguard people, assets, and data, but can also evolve to meet future growth needs.

Integrating separate security applications can be complex and limiting. Convergint partners with Genetec to offer a comprehensive portfolio of unified security solutions designed with security and connectivity in mind. The Genetec™ unified platform is easy to manage, scalable, and most importantly, secure.

All-in-one security, operations, and intelligence solutions

The banking and finance portfolio aids in lowering security risks, automating operations, and protecting sensitive data. With flexible deployment options, including on-premise, fully hosted, or hybrid options, the cloud-ready bundle of solutions empowers financial institutions to transition seamlessly, and meet evolving needs. Key built-in features of the solution include:

  • Security Center Federation (on-premise or as a service): Centralise monitoring, reporting, and management across branches, and access all system information from a single location.

  • Real-time map-based monitoring: Visualise the environment with real-time dynamic maps. Monitor access control or intrusion events, and view live or recorded video.

  • Disaster recovery/failover: Configure failover directories for sites, and ensure that data and storage are accessible if disasters occur, and servers go offline.

  • Mobile and web apps: Keep staff synchronised with location tracking, messaging, video-streaming, and archive sharing, facilitating video viewing, PTZ camera control, alarm management, and door unlocking.

  • System availability monitoring (SAM): Real-time health information from all systems allow quick examination, and can solve issues before operations and security are affected. Automate system health with detailed metrics such as uptime for cameras, readers, and intrusion.

  • Health and event monitoring: Receive real-time notifications and alerts about system status and health-related events. Generate statistics about the health of the system with a dedicated engine to fully optimise system performance.

  • Cloud storage: Lower the cost of physical data storage across small footprint branches, and access simple, secure, and easy-to-manage cloud storage.

  • Threat-level management: Change the behaviour and operations of the Security Center system. Personnel can instantly modify the behaviour when responding to events.

  • Intelligent key management: Move from mechanical brass keys to an electric key system, and benefit from audit and accountability while overcoming rekeying issues.

  • End-to-end data security and privacy: Protect video, cardholder, and system data with secure communications between clients, servers, edge devices, and all relevant parties. Security Center encrypts video in transit, at rest, and when exporting evidence.

Enhancing security and efficiency through strategic integration

Centralising on a unified security portfolio provides several key benefits for financial institutions. These solutions fortify cyber resilience by providing multiple layers of defence against increasing cyber attacks, aiding to understand, identify, and mitigate risks effectively. Operations are streamlined through enhanced efficiency and scalability across departments, facilitating seamless management, and faster investigations from a unified application. Additionally, these solutions enable better utilisation of data by integrating siloed information into actionable insights, ultimately enhancing the customer experience and supporting business growth.

Effective security and safety is a multi-layered approach involving people, processes, and technologies. Convergint-provided products and services are only one part of this multi-layered approach, will not detect or prevent all threats or solve every risk, and should not be your sole method of security or safety.
