Financial firms in New York operate under a dense web of expectations—NYDFS Part 500, SEC (Reg SCI, Reg S-P), FINRA, PCI DSS, and FFIEC. None name specific carriers, but all demand proof: encryption in transit, documented path diversity, tested failover, continuous monitoring, and strong third-party oversight. The fastest, cleanest way to satisfy the letter and spirit of these rules is at the fiber layer.
With a modern, carrier-neutral dark-fiber backbone between 60 Hudson St. and 165 Halsey St., GIX gives compliance and network teams the artifacts examiners ask for—MACsec/optical encryption, dual POEs, diverse cross-Hudson routes, auditable maintenance and change records—without sacrificing latency for trading and market-data workloads.
What this means for you
- Encrypt in transit: Native MACsec/optical options with key-rotation evidence.
- Prove resilience: Physically diverse, documented paths and tested failover.
- Tame third-party risk: Single, well-documented route with carrier-neutral interconnects.
