Jack Henry & Associates’ (JKHY - Free Report) division Jack Henry Banking has unveiled a Sheltered Harbor solution named SecurePort.

SecurePort ensures that banks leveraging the SilverLake System core can help customers with access to account balances and funds as well as protect them in times of crisis including situations when critical systems and backups fail.
