More and more, financial institutions are being forced to grapple with security issues, concerning the advanced technologies their employees and vendors are using in day-to-day business. While some are embracing SaaS cloud computing for a more centralized and secure way of lending, others are apprehensive about embracing the transition.
The truth is, traditional IT departments are failing to adapt to the increasing security demands of the modern technology that their employees and vendors are using. This failure shows a valid need for financial companies to find a secure and centralized cloud computing system that provides their workforce with the tools they need for optimal efficiency.
Mobile Workforces are the Game Changer
Advanced mobile technology is changing the way mortgage companies and their clients interact and do business in the world today. The availability of efficient apps, through smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices, is giving mortgage professionals more tools and options with which to conduct business. The problem is that many of these options may not be approved by traditional IT departments and often create security risks.
For instance, if an employee uses Gmail to send and save sensitive data or a note-taking app to track unsecured customer information, they could be putting that information at risk, without even realizing it. For large institutions (with hundreds or thousands of employees), controlling the apps used to conduct day-to-day business with clients is becoming more difficult for their IT departments.
The risk of sensitive data being leaked through an unsecured cloud-based app (from an employee or vendor) is a real problem. As this becomes an increasingly common challenge for mortgage lenders, the best solution is to find a reliable, cloud-based software provider to partner with.
