Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory Compliance

Be it MiFID II in Europe, SEC in the US or local regulators around the world, the finance sector is one of the most regulated industries in the world. We can help financial institutions meet demanding compliance obligations in a variety of ways:

  • Use taps to make an identical copy of every single trade or transaction and act as the absolute truth in the event of a compliance challenge
  • Use packet brokers to timestamp packets and demonstrate timing of trades
  • Use TradeVision to measure latency and demonstrate compliance with best execution requirements
  • Use BreakingPoint products to prove cyber security tools are hardened against DDoS attacks

Model Financial "What Ifs"

Financial Modeling diagram

Modeling "what ifs" is a key part of a successful financial institution — be it real time trading infrastructure, a retail banking application or a back office banking system

  • What if you experience lots of multicast gaps on my real time market feed — what happens to your overall response times and profitability?
  • What if you expand to a new geographical area — what happens to your retail banking user experience if there is an extra 5 mSec network delay?
  • What if your network starts dropping packets — can you rely on the audit trail?

Our Network Emulator II is designed to allow network and IT Engineers to explore "what ifs" and see the impact of network impairment on real life financial applications

Test Your Banking Security Strength

Financial institutions are a high value target for cyber criminals. Understanding the vulnerability and susceptibility of IT infrastructure is a key part of risk reduction.

Challenge your security solutions from every angle to reduce your risk. Understand user experience from application to protocol, network performance to connections, user load to traffic-type scalability.

Ensure attack readiness. Train to think like attackers and know exactly how to respond, with security attacks and heavy traffic loads during beta testing and pre-production.
