Most financial institutions are leveraging the Microsoft Azure cloud to assist with business processes such as collecting taxes. However, to ensure their data is secure from a cyber-attack, financial organisations can partner with third-party security vendors like Barracuda that can provide enhanced security yet also integrate back into the Azure fabric upon which they had planned to build their application. In addition, organisations can leverage built-in application programming interfaces allowing them to code security into their applications at the time of development, eliminating a costly and often time-consuming security cycle. The combination of inbuilt Azure functionality plus the tightly integrated web application firewall from Barracuda that provides additional features and security can help streamline processes, be more proactively secure and quickly build and deploy revenue applications.” Chris Hill Regional Vice President of Public Cloud and Strategic Partners International, Barracuda Networks “At Experian, we recognise the growing need for data validation solutions to help detect fraud at the outset. Fraudsters are fast, unrelenting, indiscriminate, inventive and opportunistic. The ability to better identify your customer means you can spot fraud more easily. Data validation underpinned by contacts, personal and business intelligence is the first line of defense to stop fraudsters in their tracks. Experian’s data validation integration for Microsoft Dynamics 365 helps financial services organisations costeffectively detect potential fraud when users submit applications or purchases. It also adds insights, such as disposable mobile number flags, which help financial services organisations identify potentially risky users at the point of data capture.” Vania Sigalas Head of Strategic Propositions, Experian Data Quality UK&I “We live in a world where data breaches are an everyday occurrence, and regulations for protecting data are trying to keep up. Microsoft Dynamics 365 software-as-a-service subscriptions have well-defined security and compliance perimeters. With Microsoft’s commitment to the highest levels of trust, transparency and regulatory compliance, JourneyTEAM makes every effort to protect customer data and ensure we follow Microsoft’s standards. We assist our financial customers with managing their Microsoft environments, identifying how different controls apply to their business, and configuring them to address security and compliance.” Mike Kraft Senior Solutions Architect, JourneyTEAM
