Why Is Information Security Different in BankingMy Career in Banking SecurityWhat Banks Worry AboutZeus and SpyEye Deep Dive. What are we covering
Why is Information Security in Banking Different? Banks succeed because customers trust them with their money • Suttons Law • Criminals want to steal from Banks • “That’s where the money is”
Why is Information Security in Banking Different? • Customers need to know that Banks are safe and secure • This isn’t just to do with Information Security. • It’s about how a Bank is run. • Here For Good • Standard Chartered Bank

Risk Management in Banking How Banks Work & Why Risk Is Important
Risk Management in Banks This process of reserving money is called “Capital Allocation” Where the amount is dependant on your level of risk.
The more risk a Bank has the more money it has to reserve, The more money the Bank reserves the less it can invest The less it invests the less it can make The less it can make the less it can pay The less it pays, the less customers it will have
Risk management and information security are factors that determine how competitive and successful a Bank is.
In the Banking industry, security isn’t just about the technology, rather, it is integrated with Risk Management, Compliance and Fraud. This combined space is called GRC
It wasn’t always like this. In 2000, online fraud was unheard of. Now it costs banks 60M in the USA alone.

As the threats of theft and fraud have increased, so has the role of Information Security professionals.
