Legacy Modernization for Financial Institutions – What is it?  And Why do You Need it? 

Legacy modernization has become an increasingly popular option for financial institutions looking to optimize their IT. This session will explore the many benefits financial institutions can expect from legacy modernization including lowered maintenance costs, increased business agility and the availability of new technologies. Critical drivers for legacy modernization activities will be examined, including the rising maintenance costs of legacy applications, the need to align IT with business objectives, the shrinking pool of qualified resources capable of understanding and maintaining these applications, and the need to upgrade to modern, more flexible systems. 

An overview of the full spectrum of legacy modernization projects will be provided as well as techniques for assessing the health of legacy applications. A discussion on how to plan and execute a successful legacy modernization project will be included, along with a review of various modernization strategies and tips for staying on budget and on time.  Finally, case studies will be provided highlighting success in the financial services sector.

IPS-secured Networks

Collecting, retaining and securing personal information about customers, employees and other stakeholders is a daily activity for today’s financial services organizations. Not only do financial organizations risk losing customers and damaging their reputations, data breaches has led to lawsuits and negative press. As the dependence on electronic banking grows, federal regulations now mandate the protection of digital financial data, requiring institutions to rethink their network security priorities.

As a result, financial institutions are under more pressure than ever to ensure adequate privacy protection, provide and share information across multiple systems and facilities, monitor and evaluate the security of their information and maximize the value of their information technology resources. This session will provide an overview of how financial institutions can not only protect their networks from malicious attacks, but how to keep their data safe and meet third-party regulatory requirements in the process.

Craig Phelps directs product marketing at TippingPoint with a focus on compliance product strategies, which enable customers to apply automated security controls to achieve regulatory compliance and meet internal security policy. Previous to his role at TippingPoint, he was responsible for security strategy in Dell’s Enterprise Product Group. He has also served as Security Brand Manager for Dell’s public division, where he led initiatives for PC, server, storage and network-based security. Craig has also held marketing roles at Cisco Systems and Reed Elsevier. He holds a CISSP certification and received a SANS Institute Information Security Leadership award for his work at Dell. He received his MBA from B.Y.U. in 1997.
