ABout infosight
InfoSight, headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, offers innovative, leading-edge
managed security, compliance, and consulting services to financial institutions,
healthcare providers, insurance companies, and other regulated industries. The
company, through its Managed Services Infrastructure, allows customers to
protect their networks against intrusions and to maintain regulatory compliance
by preventing data leakage. InfoSight also serves hundreds of institutions within
the United States with innovative solutions including IT Risk Assessment and
Compliance Consulting, Security and Infrastructure Monitoring Services, and
Privacy and Policy Enforcement Services. Together, these services help to keep
clients secure, reliable, and compliant.

As a leading provider of IT solutions for regulated industries, InfoSight needs
to ensure that institutions are always secured and compliant to operate reliably
and efficiently. InfoSight plays a significant role in helping its customers meet
compliance and security regulations for all major audit and governance authorities,
including HIPAA, OTS, OCC, FDIC, Sarbanes-Oxley, and State Department
of Banking.
“As an independent third-party provider, we are uniquely positioned to ensure
that financial institutions manage their information security strategy properly,
and we accomplish this through education as well as implementation,” says Tom
Garcia, CEO of InfoSight. “Security is not about a single product or technology.
It’s an entire process that evolves over time. InfoSight has a great number of
collective years of experience helping our clients meet their IT security needs.”
In order to improve upon its existing security offering, InfoSight required a comprehensive,
reliable, and flexible security solution that was easy to deploy and
manage. And while the solution needed to meet the special needs of small- to
mid-sized financial institutions, it also needed to stand up to the complex and
rigorous regulatory requirements of the banking industry.

Comprised of industry veterans, the InfoSight team was
familiar with the name and reputation of Check Point Software,
which is how they became familiar with Safe@Office ® and the
Security Management Portal (SMP ) management platform.
They performed a thorough assessment of the alternatives
and concluded that only the Check Point solution offered
them the ability to deliver security as a managed service
combined with ease of installation, central management,
and comprehensive reporting options.
“Check Point provided the right solution at the right price,”
says Garcia. “We liked the fact that Safe@Office is an allin-one
security device, providing extensive networking and
connectivity capabilities. This allows us to deliver our solution
better than anyone else in the industry. We also knew that our
customers would appreciate that they were getting the same
technology solution used by 98 percent of the Fortune 500
companies. Smaller and mid-sized financial institutions must
meet most of the same regulations as larger banks. The Check
Point Safe@Office SMP solution is an obvious choice.”
The Check Point Safe@Office appliances deliver proven
Internet security and provide a solid line of defense against
threats ranging from hacking attempts and denial-of-service
attacks to phishing and viruses. Combined with SMP, the
Check Point solution offers a scalable central management
and service provisioning platform that allows InfoSight to
service their customers reliably on a 24x7 basis.

In addition to Safe@Office UTM appliances providing
all-in-one security, InfoSight also needed a central management
and service-provisioning platform to manage their
customer network. SMP On-Demand provided a powerful
and affordable option. Garcia explained why InfoSight chose
SMP On-Demand. “When we considered the options, we

determined that SMP On-Demand provided the most flexible
and cost-effective solution for us to manage our network of
Safe@Office appliances. Because Check Point hosts SMP
On-Demand for us, it was quick and easy to get up and
running, and did not require us to supply server space. As our
number of customers grows, SMP On-Demand can easily
expand with us.
The extensive logging and monitoring capabilities of SMP
On-Demand enables InfoSight to provide its customers with
proactive remote management services, while reducing the
amount of service calls and allowing businesses to operate
continuously. “An important feature of SMP On-Demand
is the ability to create alerts for any unusual behavior, thus
allowing us to be proactive rather than reactive,” says Garcia.
“Customers appreciate the monthly security threat reports
generated by SMP On-Demand, which provide a constant
reminder of the added value of the InfoSight solution.”
“Check Point’s Safe@Office and SMP On-Demand has made
us much more competitive within community banking and
has helped us to win and secure more business than ever
before,” says Garcia. “And the fact that we are using Check
Point products as part of our solution is helping us gain even
more credibility since their reputation for strong security solutions
precedes them and us.”
the future of INfosIght
With Safe@Office and SMP On-Demand in place, InfoSight
has standardized their security offering, and branded it with
their own style. Most importantly, the solution allows the
company to secure highly confidential information within
the banking and services environment, and to deal with
compliance issues through detailed logging, reporting, and
monitoring capabilities. InfoSight is determined to extend this
service to its existing clientele and generate new business
based on managed security services.
