Mitsubishi UFJ Trust

Mitsubishi UFJ Trust

At Mitsubishi UFJ Trust (MUT) our team evaluated the network infrastructure for is­sues and improved optimization across client’s offices across 7 countries in 3 continents. Dyna Lync provided recommendations for improved business continuity, consolidated services and enhanced network and IT security. Dyna Lync successfully utilized the latest network di­agnostic equipment to examine health of the network, package drops, pinpoint bottlenecks, potential bandwidth issues, and summarized overall network performance in a Network Health Assessment report. Based off the “NHA” our team deployed a solution at MUT to improve network performance, enhance network security, limit package drops and optimize VPN tunnel performance across all MUT locations. Dyna Lync also provided a comprehensive “Blueprint” to MUT for future implementation, deployment and growth & scalability of MUT’s IT Network. Technologies utilized on this project were Barracuda Firewalls, Cisco & Nortel Switches, Linux, Unix, and Windows Operating systems, MacAfee Antivirus, and various diagnostic tools such as Solarwinds, Cisco IP analyzer, and Sniffer.

DependableIT

Dyna Lync was engaged by DIT in response to a request by one of DIT’s client’s for an on-site audit to confirm PCI compliance/readiness and ensure that DIT met certain critical criteria set forth by DIT’s client.

Initially Dyna Lync performed an audit to gauge the gap assessment between PCI-DSS version 3.2 standards and DIT’s current standards. Dyna Lync deployed a CheckPoint solution in conjunction with “sniffer tools” on the network. Dyna Lync interviewed and documented all security and business processes as part of the audit. Over 400 tests were conducted within DIT’s environment on the following:

  • Building and maintaining a secure network
  • Protecting cardholder data
  • Maintaining a vulnerability management program
  • Implementing strong access control measures
  • Regularly monitoring and testing networks
  • Maintaining an information security policy

Gaps were identified and Dyna Lync prioritized the risks associated with the various gaps and set about remediating them. DIT’s client was very satisfied with the results and is currently the process of signing-off on the audit.
