Maybe This is Why They Need a Bailout

I wish I could say this was an isolated incident but stories of banks being hacked have been surfacing for years and it seems that the attacks are getting more frequent and more severe. Hackers today know exactly what they are looking for and are not playing pranks.

Although most large banks take security very seriously, their network infrastructures are vast and widely distributed. Such networks can be difficult to maintain and to monitor for intrusion. While most employ data encryption of some kind, many of their solutions are home-grown or antiquated. These systems need to be replaced but many banks put it off as they believe the process too costly and difficult because their systems are usually a conglomeration of mismatched technologies added over time.

Knowing that many enterprise sized businesses have similar infrastructures that have been built up over time, Dark Matter believes that any enterprise encryption solutions should integrate easily into any existing network with a minimum of configuration.
