Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB/GLBA)

The primary vulnerability management goals of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act are to construct a thorough risk management of each department handling the nonpublic information, and to protect against someone trying to gain access to personal nonpublic information without proper authority, a process known as "social engineering."

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB/GLBA), which took effect in 2001, requires financial institutions to take demonstratable precautions to keep consumer records private and secure.

While many firms have been working to comply with GLBA, regular Retina Network Security Scans are an important part of ensuring long-term compliance and documented process. A proactive and preventative tool, eEye’s Retina Vulnerability Assessment solutions should be used to scan and evaluate the systems in place at financial organizations.

Among the benefits eEye Digital Security® offers are:

• Customizable assessment options. Retina allows administrators to set the time and intervals of scans, ensuring networks are checked regularly and frequently with a documentable set of scan policies and audits.

• Mitigation. When Retina finds vulnerabilities, it leads network administrators to the fastest fixes for them using hyperlinks and the latest remediation documentation.

• Demonstrate GLB/GLBA compliance. The eEye Digital Security’s Blink Endpoint Protection Platform provides a high level of assurance of protection from an attack and protection from loss of critical client patient information.
