Skipton Building Society Secures Against Authorised Device Access and Malware With Reflex Disknet Pro

Overview The Skipton is the 7th largest Building Society in the UK. Founded in 1853 the Skipton has 79 branches from Aberdeen to Plymouth. In 1998 Skipton Building decided to embark upon a substantial upgrade to its IT environment, by replacing "Dumb" terminals connected to a mainframe environment, with a network of desktop computers, many of which were connected to internet. The company wanted a solution that was capable of maintaining data integrity as well as guarding against the introduction of malicious code and unlicensed software programmes. As a solution the company deployed Reflex Magnetics' Disknet Pro product.
