Protect Sensitive Financial Data Across the Transaction Lifecycle
Aquila Fort brings policy driven data protection to Aquila through Aqua Global’s partnership with eXate, so banks can apply fine grained encryption, dynamic masking and access controls directly to sensitive data as it moves through messaging, payments, treasury and securities processing.
The result is stronger protection of customer information, simpler regulatory compliance and greater control over sensitive financial data, all while maintaining the speed and performance that mission critical banking operations depend on.
Full Data Protection Across the Aquila Platform
Intelligent Data Protection: Sensitive data is protected at the individual field level, so only what needs securing is secured and the rest stays usable.
Dynamic Data Visibility: What each user sees reflects their role automatically, so operations, compliance and support teams only ever see what is appropriate for them.
Complete Control Over What You Protect: Any column that can be encrypted can be protected, so the bank decides what is covered. When new regulation lands, it switches protection on and the system secures both new and historical data.
Flexible Security Policies: Policies are tailored to each bank and can be updated as regulations change, without disrupting operations.
