System Hardening for the finance & insurance industry

Legal and DORA-compliant System Hardening

Preventively protect your customers’ sensitive data, strengthen the resilience of your IT infrastructure and better comply with regulations such as DORA – with professional, automated System Hardening!

Why is System Hardening important for banks and insurance companies?

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a small insuretech start-up or a large global company: The insurance and finance industry is a prime target for cyber attacks.

In view of the immense amounts of critical data and customer information as well as the comprehensive regulatory requirements, it is therefore essential to proactively protect the IT systems of insurers, banks and financial service providers with System Hardening and thus significantly reduce the attack surfaces.

This video clearly explains why this approach is a fundamental component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy:

Our solution: Automated System Hardening for insurance companies, banks and financial service providers

The manual implementation of professional System Hardening is very time-consuming. This is particularly the case with the very large and heterogeneous IT system landscapes that are common in the insurance and financial sector.

Therefore, the process of implementation, monitoring and optimization should be designed and technically supported as efficiently as possible. We developed the Enforce Administrator for this purpose. With the hardening tool “made in Germany”, you can carry out automated System Hardening based on tried and tested standards.

How Enforce Administrator supports DORA compliance

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) clearly stipulates that IT systems must be securely configured and hardened. Enforce Administrator helps you to meet the high regulatory requirements for System Hardening in the best possible way.

Below we show you how you can benefit from our DORA-compliant solution for sustainable System Hardening in financial and insurance organizations.

Use of industry-proven, established standards

🛑 Self-conceived security configurations are a thing of the past! In order to meet the DORA requirements, you need to use established standards in the area of system hardening.

✅ With Enforce Administrator, your systems are hardened according to the latest, globally recognized standards – for example, according to the recommendations of DISA, CIS, BSI, ACSC and Microsoft. The benchmarks can also be easily used in combination.

Monitoring the settings

🛑 Regular measures that monitor the actual implementation of the secure configuration are eminently important and a “must have”.

✅ A core function of Enforce Administrator is the automated self-healing and monitoring of configuration settings. When changes are made, the target status is automatically restored. This creates a kind of “self-healing system”.

Reports and audits

🛑 In order to meet the requirements of DORA, clear and comprehensible documentation of the hardening measures carried out is mandatory.

✅ Reporting in the web interface as well as exportable reports can be created with Enforce Administrator at the touch of a button.

Simple implementation

🛑 The recommended hardening measures are extremely difficult, incomplete and very time-consuming to implement manually or with Windows Group Policies. GPOs are therefore considered a “no-go” for DORA-compliant hardening.

✅ Enforce Administrator does not work on the basis of GPOs, but with integrated on-board tools and does not require any client software. And because it is a no-code tool, you don’t have to write a line of code yourself.
