Strategic Network Segregation: Achieving Regulatory Compliance in Banking
Architected the migration of 600+ multi-platform systems into segregated network zones to meet strict banking regulatory requirements.
Executive Summary Managed a critical infrastructure transformation for a major banking client to comply with new financial regulatory requirements regarding system isolation.
The Challenge The client was mandated by a bank regulator to divide all existing IT systems into independent network zones (Production, UAT, and Development) separated by firewalls to enhance security and data integrity.
The Solution As the Infrastructure Architect, I architected and managed the migration of approximately 600 systems across various platforms. This involved a complex coordination of moving workloads without disrupting banking operations while ensuring all new firewall communication rules were strictly enforced.
My Role * Planned and executed the migration strategy for 600+ Linux, Unix, and Windows-based systems. * Led a specialized team of domain infrastructure architects. * Collaborated with the customer's network providers to design and implement new firewall communication protocols.
Key Technologies * Virtualization: VMware Platform. * Hardware: Bare Metal solutions. * Systems: RHEL (Linux), Unix, and Windows. * Security: Enterprise Firewalls and Network Segmentation.
