LONDON, July 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that its UK subsidiary has
been selected by Yorkshire Building Society Group (YBSG), the UK's
second largest building society, to provide its Unisys
Stealth® data protection product to secure customer
information and facilitate compliance with the new Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
To achieve and maintain PCI compliance, financial institutions
need to securely control access to their organizations' payment
card data by only allowing authorized colleagues and technology to
process and work with the information.
Under the terms of the five-year agreement, YBSG will use Unisys
Stealth to micro-segment its network to create secure communities
of interest (COIs), consisting of YBSG colleagues and systems that
have been authorized to handle customer data. This protects data
transferred across its network from being accessed by unauthorized
personnel or people outside the organization, and also limits the
scope of PCI audits providing further cost savings.
Unisys Stealth provides YBSG a low-cost, operationally efficient
PCI compliance capability designed specifically to protect
sensitive customer data and network assets from the ever rising
tide of sophisticated cyber-attacks, data breaches and hackers.
"Our key priority is to keep customer information secure, across
the organization. Unisys Stealth adds layers of protection, to the
other multiple layers of protection we employ, to help protect our
most sensitive data and achieve and maintain PCI DSS compliance,"
said Stephen Mulley, Head of IT
& Change at YBSG.
Tom Patterson, chief trust
officer for Unisys, said, "Many older security solutions used by
banks and building societies are becoming impractical and expensive
to maintain in today's connected environments. Unisys Stealth is
software-based and identity-managed, meaning it's easy for
financial institutions to configure and protect their most
sensitive data and achieve PCI DSS compliance efficiently.
Additionally, its identity-driven segmentation capabilities work as
well in clouds and on mobile, allowing enterprises to overcome
issues attached to firewall sprawl that many financial
organizations are experiencing."
