Don’t Get Burnt. Secure Your Data Now

Data is the new fuel powering modern business. An invaluable asset which, if left unprotected, can quickly become a dangerous liability. With the rise in cyber threats and the Central Bank of Nigeria’s tightening compliance requirements, securing your organization’s data is no longer a luxury, it’s a mission-critical necessity.  From ransomware attacks to internal data leaks, the threats are real, and the consequences are severe. But amid these challenges, there’s a smarter, more secure path forward. The Interswitch Data Security Solution (IDSS) is designed to deliver unified, robust data protection for financial institutions, telecos, government agencies, and enterprises operating in increasingly complex digital environments. Whether your infrastructure is on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid, IDSS enables you to secure your data and stay fully compliant with both local and global regulations without compromising performance, flexibility, or control. Recognizing that infrastructure varies across organizations, IDSS provides three tailored deployment options to align with your operational requirements:
