Security Solution for Angolan EMIS

Security Solution for Angolan EMIS

Critical Software has signed a contract with EMIS, an Angolan company that aims to be the national banking acquirer and card issuer, for the development of a security solution. The main challenge of this project will be the development of a solution to protect internal information ensuring compliance with Cobit and PCI requirements.

The solution will provide preventive mechanisms to identify, register and solve attacks and threats to the EMIS infrastructure. This will be achieved by supplying two different approaches: a security planning approach providing guidelines to security procedures and policies, and a security infrastructure design. These approaches will work in order to protect the whole organisation in the event of an attack to the infrastructure itself. In this case, mechanisms will be installed and configured in such a way, that it will prevent the attacker from reaching sensitive data inside the organization. The project aims to subdivide EMIS LAN’s ensuring the separation of all network traffic that deals with credit card transactions and the controls' integration regarding the secure transactions occurred within the network.
