SWIFT Compliance
Meet industry security standards with better visibility and control
A Mandatory Security Controls Framework
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) is a global provider of financial messaging services. It is widely used by banks and other financial institutions to send secure messages and orchestrate financial transactions. SWIFT is the de facto standard for this type of communication, with over 11,000 institutions in 200 countries participating.
Given the sensitive nature of financial communications, SWIFT places significant emphasis on security standards for participants. The SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework is a mandatory set of regulations that all members of the SWIFT community must comply with. The controls are updated regularly as the threat landscape evolves over time.

Precise, layered protection for regulated environments
Guardicore Centra makes it easy for organizations to visualize applications throughout their IT infrastructure and implement precise control over data flows and access. The visibility and control that Centra provides makes it easier for financial services organizations subject to the SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework to address many aspects of these guidelines. Software-defined segmentation makes isolating SWIFT environments fast and easy, user-based policies tightly limit access, and integrated threat detection and response features further mitigate security and compliance risk.
