The financial services segment encompasses a variety of business categories: banking, insurance, financial planning, accountants, etc.  Many of the core information technology issues faced by these companies are similar.   All businesses in this segment have the strongest need for information security.  Beyond the requirements imposed by government regulation, the very survival of these businesses depends on their ability to assure their customers that their private information is safe and secure.
