GEC NEWS WIREEnhanced visibility allows for even more efficient and secure management of financial networks across MEA
Emerging Markets Payments (EMP) Group, based out of Egypt, supports all electronic payment card schemes and all electronic distribution channels. The Group is committed to remaining at the forefront of the digital currency revolution by creating a payments platform that drives card penetration and other payment types in these emerging markets.
As part of its continuous commitment, EMP recently implemented Sourcefire’s IPS (through FVC and its partner) for the agility and intelligent functionality it provides to EMP’s systems deployed across its network of clients in MEA. The Group began by using the open source version in an initial test period of three months before moving to the full commercial version of the software.
Installing Sourcefire’s FireSight, EMP is now able to monitor its internal network using a customised network discovery policy. The new IPS now shows the network’s vulnerabilities, helps to create recommended actions, and in turn helps create the best practice policies for all EMP sites.
