Since January 2007 Degussa Bank GmbH has belonged to the Privatbank M.M.Warburg & CO KGaA group of companies. The institute is specialised in "Worksite Banking" - at over 100 partner companies, Degussa is represented on-site at the workplace and offers financial services to staff members. This decentralized business model is dependent on extremely secure and reliable communication. To ensure maximum security, Degussa Bank has turned to Retarus’ Managed E-Mail-Services, which effectively blocks spam, virus and other attacks via the internet.
"In the finance and banking industry matters of data security are of critical importance", explains Oliver Pannenbäcker, Vice President Managed Services at Retarus: "The supervisory body BaFin, which regulates all banks, plays an essential role in providing guidelines. Our wide-ranging experience in the financial services sector means that we are the ideal partner to implement the BaFin requirements. Already during preliminary discussions, we were able provide Degussa Bank with excellent advice based on our expertise in their field – particularly with regard to the highly secure SMTP infrastructure and highly available SMTP gateway required by Degussa Bank in their data centres in order to meet BaFin compliancy regulations." Internet attacks are thus blocked effectively. Direct connections between the internal e-mail infrastructure and the internet can also be consistently precluded.
Retarus Managed E-Mail Services guarantee that Degussa Bank has the most secure e-mail communication around the clock and seven days a week. The continuously updated virus scanner effectively guards against the dangers of virus intrusions and the regularly updated spam filter shields both user and system from unwanted marketing e-mails. Finally, detailed reporting means that the service remains transparent at all times.
