WSD (Wall Street Docs) has today announced that it is working with Venari Security to maintain strong encryption standards across its entire network and identify malicious activity hidden within encrypted traffic.

As a key 3rd party supplier to banking and financial services organisations, the relationship will be essential in further reducing WSD’s customers’ risk exposure and potential attack surface.

VigilanceAI

WSD is utilising VigilanceAI, to gain unparalleled insight and visibility into how encryption is actively used across the enterprise, including cloud, regulated, and third-party environments.

The platform enables WSD to maintain strong encryption standards while supporting data privacy in transit. By providing this validation and visibility into its entire encrypted estate, WSD can reduce its risk of regulatory non-compliance.

With Venari Security and their VigilanceAI platform, we can provide unrivalled assurance to our customers"

Richard Gompels, CIO, WSD, said “WSD offers a wide range of Structured Product automation solutions to almost all the leading banks. We take all aspects of service and security exceptionally seriously. As a bank-grade, critical 3rd party supplier we are constantly minimising our cyber and compliance risks."

"With Venari Security, and their VigilanceAI platform, we can provide unrivalled assurance to our customers that encrypted communications between clients, staff, offices, and our leading hybrid AWS cloud infrastructure, all meet the standards we all expect,” adds Richard Gompels.

Visibility, control, and assurance 

Tom Millar, CEO and Founder, of Venari Security, said "In a world that's encrypted, Venari Security provides visibility, control, and assurance over critical business information and assets. We enable organisations to view their internal network with a different lens."

He adds, "Ultimately, helping them to make sense of whether they are meeting both internal and regulatory encryption standards, something they otherwise would not have been able to do.”

V-Comply and V-Detect

The VigilanceAI platform consists of two solutions, V-Comply and V-Detect. WSD will be integrating both solutions into its offering, enabling it to provide a thorough TLS attack surface review as part of the routine security hygiene service it offers its customers.
