UNDER ATTACK

The cyberwar is escalating as cybercriminals up the ante with more sophisticated attacks. Unique trading algorithms must be protected, and so must massive quantities of sensitive data and client information. Third-party vendors, cloud and outsourced services, mobile apps and devices expose capital markets firms to malicious activity. Wall Street watchdogs have an eagle eye on cybersecurity preparedness and risk management, and so does the corporate board.

How can capital markets firms lock down their IT infrastructure against cybercriminals without putting a drag on the speed of trading, real-time market analysis and client service? What can they do to meet their need for speed and massive quantities of data, while thwarting malicious activity?

SECURITY THE CLOUD

All cloud models pose delicate security challenges. IT should be able to address

public, private and hybrid options as conditions change, and your organization

may need (perhaps repeatedly) to transition from one model to another. This is no

reason to back away from the cloud. Rather, it’s an opportunity to seize the cloud’s

potential in a more secure fashion that will help protect your operations.

EXPERT Q&A

What cybersecurity trends are you seeing in the financial services industry?

The sophistication of cybercriminals is increasing and keeping pace with the advancement of cybersecurity technology. Add the challenges of protecting mobile workers, cloud resources and third-party vendors, along with stricter mandates like the Payment Card Data Security Standard (PCI). As a result, cybersecurity today is a process that needs to constantly evolve to keep one step ahead of the danger.

What tips do you have to help financial services firms better protect themselves?

Web security. Cyberattacks are coming through the web, and organizations of every size need to

secure that gateway and filter traffic for malicious content. Hackers use the web to propagate malware — therefore it needs to be heavily enforced.

Behavior. Cybersecurity should no longer focus on the specific signature of the breach. It’s now all

about the behavior monitoring — observing activities of users, information systems and processes, and measuring the activities against organizational policies and rules, baselines of normal activity, thresholds and trends.

How can financial firms keep up with the increasing sophistication of cybercriminals

and technology?

The best advice is to leverage and maximize what you already have. A great example is antivirus protection. This is no longer as powerful a tool to prevent malicious activity. Shoring it up with other protection like web security and advanced persistent threat protection gives you a more secure infrastructure.
