ICT in Financial Services

Strong banking laws, a highly skilled and educated workforce and significant investments in robust information and communications technologies (ICT) allowed financial services industry to remain resilient and vibrant throughout the recession, proving its capacity to withstand the harshest of economic conditions. However, the aftermath of the recession has created immense pressures on the global financial industry.

It’s no surprise that banks and other financial institutions have extremely high security requirements. The public need to be assured that their well-earned assets and investments are safe, and that their protection is never compromised.

Robberies and fraud pose an everyday threat, and special consideration needs to be given to the protection of cash drawers, vaults, and ATMs. Both public and personnel access needs to be tightly controlled, with multiple levels of security in place to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
