Australia’s financial services sector is changing quickly.

The growing digitalisation of financial services brings greater risk of cyberattack.

SureDeploy offers efficiency, control, and security for financial services organisations.

The financial services
sector is evolving.
So are the security threats.

Australia’s financial services sector is changing. The rise of fintech organisations has put pressure on traditional firms to fast-track their digital transformation. Today’s customers now expect real-time answers to their questions, and the ability to self-service as much as possible. Employees also expect robust digital tools, and to work more flexibly than ever before. Managing an increasingly digital infrastructure - and ensuring watertight security - can be a major overhead for IT teams, especially when employees are using a variety of devices in disparate locations. Without the right systems and tools in place, it’s very easy for security gaps to appear.

Ensure security and compliance

SureDeploy can boost your financial services organisation’s overall security posture and compliance. Your IT team gains acess to our library of over 800 pre-configured security policies, and the ability to easily set up automated application updates. This ensures the security of all endpoint devices used across your organisation, including laptops, tablets or smartphones.

SureDeploy also enables you to quickly enrol new devices and remotely wipe a device if a device is misplaced or when an employee leaves, as well as ensure compliance with industry regulations, such as the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) standards.

Keep devices, apps, and identities current

SureDeploy simplifies and streamlines the way you manage every device within your financial services device fleet. This includes facilitating and ensuring rigorous identity management. Updates can be automatically packaged, tested, and pushed into an Intune tenant and out to all devices at any time—a seamless, efficient experience for both your users and IT teams. Your IT administrators also see the status of all devices, applications, and policies via a single pane of glass.

Get set up quickly and easily

With SureDeploy, you can leverage pre-configured policies and best practices to easily set up and manage a Standard Operating Environment (SOE). By using SureDeploy to set up your Intune tenant, every device is then ‘magically’ configured as part of this SOE, which means smooth onboarding, less time for employees to come up to speed, and a reduction in IT maintenance by up to 70%.i New devices can be dispatched direct to users quickly and used almost instantly. All the user needs to do is login using their secure credentials, and their applications and policies are automatically applied.

More efficiently manage endpoint devices

Ensuring robust cybersecurity in financial services is vital. Extending the power of Microsoft Intune, SureDeploy allows you to manage 1000s of devices, security policies and applications, quickly, simultaneously and centrally, without having to manually package applications and create policies from scratch. Managing endpoints using our platform or managed services (via our partner network), without having to navigate a steep learning curve, is a win for all.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can SureDeploy work for financial services?
SureDeploy offers range of benefits for financial services organisations. It brings together all endpoint device management and provides administrators with a central point of control. You can also select from our full library of pre-configured policies, which significantly streamlines the set up of Microsoft Intune. Once you have an active subscription, SureDeploy can also simplify and streamline app distribution, identity management, security, and regulatory compliance. If you would like to know how SureDeploy can work for your organisation, we would be happy to arrange a demo.
Why choose SureDeploy over other mobile device management solutions?
SureDeploy is designed to ‘turbocharge’ Microsoft Intune by offering a library of policies which simplifies and streamlines its set up—significantly reducing the learning curve for your IT team. We can also leverage our expertise and experience to provide you with fully customised policies that work for your financial services organisation. Plus, SureDeploy can be easily configured to suit specific industry compliance requirements, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
What is application packaging, and how can it streamline our software deployment and patching?
Application packaging is the process of ‘wrapping’ several applications (making their installation and patching automatable) and deploying them to users simultaneously - significantly reducing the effort and time associated with manual updates. SureDeploy supports application packaging through our AppFresh service, which optimises the deployment and management of applications across device fleets. This ensures Essential 8 compliance, consistency, reduces compatibility issues, reduces cyber threats, and improves the end user experience.
Should we manage SureDeploy, Intune and application packaging in-house, or partner with an external provider?
When evaluating a partner for device management, IT managers often tell us that the partner’s domain knowledge, experience, and track record in financial services is a big factor. At SureDeploy, we offer all these things - plus a willingness to customise our offering to your organisation and your unique requirements. Simply get in touch to discuss your needs further.
How will adopting SureDeploy, and using an external partner, impact our IT infrastructure and security posture?
SureDeploy can have a significant positive impact on your IT team’s current systems and workflows. The automation of time-consuming tasks such as device deployments, user onboarding, and security patching, can result in considerable time savings.  Using SureDeploy frees up time and resources for more strategic IT initiatives.

“Previously, setting up a store would take days – excluding travel time. As SureDeploy is so quick and easy to use, it has reduced the time required to set up a new store from days to minutes. It has also significantly reduced deployment time both for new stores and replacement devices.”  

Ben MitrevskiHead of IT, Oroton

“Thanks to CNS and SureDeploy, we were able to add 1,400 new devices to our existing environment with very minimal interruption, and without requiring any additional IT staff. Application updates and security patches are now deployed automatically, and the entire administration process is now far more streamlined and effective. It was the smoothest device rollout we have had in over 18 years.” 

Lyle CorvisyHead of ICT at St Andrew's

“While St Catherine’s has always provided a very high quality technology experience to students, the benefit of SureDeploy has really been from an IT administration and security perspective. The automation and rapid deployment of applications, policies, updates and patches has been invaluable.”
