INCREASING CYBERCRIME • Wealth management software for advisors has grown by leaps and bounds, offering almost everything a firm needs to remain technologically relevant. However, as more process have gone electronic, this has opened the door for cybercrimes. • Criminals are increasingly attacking through electronic methods, such as viruses, impersonation, and hacking. If there’s a will a cybercriminal will find a way, and it’s up to you to ensure your firm and client’s information is well protected.
INCREASING CYBERCRIME • Criminals can come in and find vast amounts of personal data, which can be used fraudulently or sold on the black market. • Another reason for an increase is the relative ease an individual can obtain information criminally. All that’s needed on the criminal’s end is a computer and Internet connection.
INCREASING PROTECTION • With the increase of cybercrime comes the need for increased protection. There are two standards that must be met, and they include your brand’s standards as well as regulatory standards. • To ensure the possibilities of an issue are as low as possible, implanting the most up to date technologies and software will ward off potential invaders.
HOW TO AVOID DATA BREACHES? • Limit Email Communication • Train and Supervise Your Employees • Insurance • Selecting Proper Software
#1: LIMIT EMAIL COMMUNICATION • Emails are taken for granted that no one is watching, when in reality there could be someone watching every day, studying patterns and gathering data. • Limit communications via email if possible, especially if there is sensitive data being transmitted. • Instead, set up a secure portal where information can be deposited or reach out via a phone call if applicable.
#2: TRAIN AND SUPERVISE YOUR EMPLOYEES • Training and proper education can go a long way in stopping potential attacks at the front line. • Financial institution staff are regularly required to take certain courses and within them, there are breakdowns on how to spot potentially fraudulent activities.
#3: INSURANCE • Wealth management firms should always have insurance in place, but that insurance should cover claims of negligence, breach of fiduciary duty or lack of regulatory compliance. • Not that your company will need to use it, but it should protect the business against anything a person might attempt.
#4: SELECTING PROPER SOFTWARE • Lastly, selecting the appropriate software will help to eliminate any shortfalls your business may have. • By ensuring your current or future software safely stores information, you will eliminate stress down the road.
