Bank Meets Tough IT Challenges while Preserving Budget

Midland Federal Savings & Loan serves southwest Chicago, Ill.
and its suburbs through its headquarters office and three branch offices. The
savings and loan offers a variety of products, including checking and savings
accounts, money market accounts, CDs and IRAs. The company sells life, health,
property/casualty and business coverage through its subsidiary, Midland
Insurance Services.
Protecting critical assets such as individuals’ banking and
insurance information is a core requirement for the bank. If information can’t
be protected then the bank runs the risk of losing clients. A few years ago,
Midland’s network consisted of a primary branch office, which was the core for
all banking systems and three branches that were connected via point-to-point
circuits. The primary branch office had the only Internet connection, which was
shared across a point-to-point circuit to each of the remote branches. If the
main branch should experience any outages or security threats, it would directly
impact the business operation and data integrity of the entire organization.
Midland Federal realized that their previous network security
solution was not going to meet the needs of the growing 100+ employee
organization and the needs of its clients. Midland Federal turned to BAI
Security to evaluate the organization’s security posture. As a leading Managed
Security Service Provider (MSSP), BAI Security helps organizations of all sizes
protect their IT infrastructure and comply with ever-changing regulations.
“With the assistance of BAI Security, we were able to identify
our security weaknesses and properly assess the best long-term approach to
securing the organization. Fortinet proved to be the ideal solution that could
provide the reliable security protection we needed, while incorporating
significant productivity enhancements. Furthermore, we were able to reduce IT
administrative resource expenses incurred by our previous in-house managed
Checkpoint solution” said Rich Taylor, Vice President of Midland Federal Savings
& Loan.
