Unified DDI for financial services
Modernize your complex network and meet regulatory requirements with centralized, automated, and secure DNS, DHCP, and IP address management
Trusted by industry leaders
The financial services industry must meet the demand for delivering rapid change to their enterprise networks amid substantial regulations and cybersecurity mandates. This often results in complex processes that raise costs and hinder digital transformation. And if the network goes down, it can result in revenue loss, fines, and broken trust with customers.
With the help of BlueCat’s solutions, you can modernize your complex network to deliver core services—namely DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (together known as DDI)—without skipping a beat.
A DDI solution for financial services
Financial services must comply with strict regulatory requirements for data storage, auditing, security, and more. As a single source of truth, BlueCat’s Unified DDI solutions help ensure you have full visibility, control, and reporting capabilities for everything happening on your network—from the data center to the cloud. Concerned about the implications of NIS2 as it relates to DNS? We’ve got you covered.
A network or security failure can result in substantial revenue loss, fines, and damage to your reputation. BlueCat is trusted by some of the world’s largest financial institutions to help keep their networks up and running 24/7. BlueCat Integrity provides an industry-leading solution with seamless failover, ensuring your DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM) is highly available and resilient in the event of an outage.
The ability to make rapid network changes is critical to driving innovation. BlueCat’s Unified DDI solutions integrate with the most common IT management and network automation tools, such as ServiceNow, Ansible, and Terraform. Via APIs and directly through network protocols, our network automation and integrations allow for automating hundreds of thousands of changes each day, allowing you to scale faster.
And because we recognize that one size does not fit all, BlueCat solutions can also be customized to your specific automation needs with the help of our professional services team.
As frequent targets of the most sophisticated cyberattacks, financial services require exceptionally secure network infrastructure. BlueCat’s security solutions utilize industry-leading thread feeds, policy-driven security rules to protect devices and networks at the DNS level, and advanced algorithms to detect threats like DNS tunneling or domain generation algorithms. BlueCat’s protective DNS solutions also integrate with your existing SIEM or SOAR solutions, giving your security teams the relevant data they need.
Financial services frequently use a multi-vendor approach to secure their networks. But with multi-vendor solutions comes increased complexity for managing configuration drift and diagnosing the root causes of issues. BlueCat’s Infrastructure Assurance helps you manage configuration drift across firewalls and load balancers, as well as observe the health and performance of your security and DNS environments.
Infrastructure Assurance provides proactive alerts for issues that can cause performance problems and generates recommended remediation steps to fix them before they impact your networks.
