Supernet, one of the first private-sector telecommunications providers in Pakistan, has been awarded a 5-year contract by the National Bank of Pakistan for providing endpoint security solution to 11500 nodes across the country. It is one of the largest projects awarded in the banking industry for endpoint security when it comes to size and scale.

As endpoint security is often seen as cybersecurity’s frontline and represents one of the first places organizations look to secure their enterprise networks, the contract will help NBP achieve an enhanced cybersecurity posture and deliver secure financial services to its customers.

The contract will give NBP access to state-of-the-art antivirus, encryption, and anti-malware protection to ensure threat detection and response offering real-time threat protection to endpoints and sensitive data and applications on servers.

Commenting on the development, CEO  Supersecure & Director Supernet, Mr. Jamal Nasir Khan, said, “Our security solution is designed to seamlessly integrate with NBP’s existing environment for threat detection, automatic response, real-time alert, and data export.”

“The centralized application, web and device controls will protect NBP’s sensitive data on each and every endpoint including PCs, Virtual Workstations and servers. It is a great achievement by the company to deliver critical information security services to NBP one of the leading commercial banks in Pakistan,” he added.

Also speaking on the occasion, Mr. Amin Manji, SEVP/CTO National Bank of Pakistan, said, “Kaspersky solutions will help NBP to minimize its attack surface and enable us to move forward proactively in the face of cyber threats.”

“With several cybersecurity projects in the pipeline; it validates NBP’s resolve to security with no compromise when it comes to the safety of the customer data. National Bank of Pakistan is committed to providing safe and secure banking to its customers with peace of mind,” he added.

Data is one of the valuable assets a bank holds in trust and to lose it or lose access to it or for it to be compromised can result in increasingly dire consequences, not only from a cost or regulatory perspective but, more crucially, from the standpoint of erosion of the trust our customers place in us to keep their data secure and private.

At the same time, the digitalization of business processes, products, services that normalized mobile and remote computing, often over insecure public and personal Wi-Fi networks and devices, has resulted in a complex and evolving threat landscape with an increasingly vulnerable and blurred perimeter that, if not secured, exposes this asset.

A multi-layered cybersecurity strategy is one facet of NBP’s response to the cyber threat and Kapersky’s End Point Protection solution is the product the Bank has employed to secure the ‘perimeter’.
