Background

Several recent cases involving ACH-related fraud and corporate account takeover have proved once again that cyber crime in the electronic banking environment is still a reality despite the security measures implemented over the years. The explanation is simple: cyber crime against financial institutions and customers is evolving almost daily while the regulation is often lagging behind. With millions of dollars lost to e-banking fraud every year, many FIs are now looking hard at their security practices as well as their vendor recommendations and the new Authentication Guidance Supplement. Is the guidance compliancy a guarantee of security?

The Second Annual Cost of Cyber Crime Study, conducted by the Ponemon Institute, revealed that the median annualized cost of cybercrime is $5.9 million a year, which is 56 percent higher than the year before. The organizations are paying anywhere from $1.5 million to $36.5 million a year to combat cyber crime, according to the study.

As a financial institution, how can you minimize your risk and your customers' risk of becoming victims of cyber crime? Does the new Authentication Guidance offer enough direction for future-proof security? Surely, being in compliance with the guidance will help you today, but what about the future? Cyber attacks are evolving daily urging the banks to focus on a proactive rather than a reactive approach to security.

How vulnerable is your institution to the next man-in-the-middle attack? Are you prepared to handle real-time attacks? Will community banks and credit unions become targets? In order to implement a successful security strategy, it is imperative to have a thorough understanding of the cyber attacks' mechanisms and the protection offered by common technology solutions.

In this 60-minute session, you will hear the recommendations from the industry experts on how to implement adequate security mechanisms to protect your institution and your customers from cyber fraud and future-proof your security including:

  • The new guidance and recommended strategies for protecting commercial/retail customers:
    • What to do and when to start;
