Private banking is a key business area for Dresdner, and through Kleinwort Benson (Channel Islands) Ltd., they are able to offer a wide range of offshore products and services that provide global solutions for private wealth.

Security is essential for Kleinwort Benson
The head of Information Security explains: "Our IT systems must be protected both from inside and outside the organization. Security and confidentiality are absolutely essential to our business. Our customers need to know that their data and assets are protected by the best possible security technology.”
The right choice of security software is very important to Kleinwort Benson (C.I) Ltd. and they took the time to extensively evaluate all the products on the market. The company chose DetectIT as it was the only product that fulfilled all their rigid criteria. "All of the competitive products lacked key elements for our stringent security policy. However, DetectIT passed our evaluation process with flying colors."
As DetectIT is a modular system, it enables customers maximum flexibility to choose the features they require. Kleinwort Benson (C.I.) Ltd. purchased the majority of the DetectIT modules to give them easy to use but comprehensive security control of their IBM System-i servers.
DetectIT is installed and working as it should within Kleinwort Benson (C.I.) Ltd., and bank's Information Security team are confident about their IBM System-i security. DetectIT allows them to monitor and administer their IBM System-i platforms much more efficiently. "Now that we have DetectIT installed, and have used it we have found that DetectIT more than fulfilled our expectations and our requirements,” add the bank.
