SkyRecon to launch TradeShield

2 May 2008

SkyRecon Systems and NET2S are to hold a seminar at the London Stock Exchange to launch TradeShield, an integrated approach to protecting traders’ endpoints without disrupting business.

The seminar will be held on 20 May 2008, to help institutions understand the risks introduced by services provided via their trading platforms, and how these can be addressed.

The real-time, inter-company, 24/7 nature of endpoint terminal applications and services like Bloomberg and Reuters can leave businesses at significant risk if they are not managed in line with IT and security policies. TradeShield works to complement existing endpoint anti-virus products with a balance of trading service enablement, risk management and endpoint security compliance.

SkyRecon is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and an active member of the Microsoft-led Secure IT Alliance. “Sensitive trading and financial data stays secure and in the hands of the trading business, not a hacker or competitor,” said SkyRecon CEO Ravy Truchot. “TradeShield addresses each critical aspect of trading service protection, pre-defined and specifically tuned to the organisation for the most direct and effective implementation possible. The technology provides protection for the trading endpoint and the data that those systems host and have access to.”
