When we talk about cybercrime in the Banking & Financial Sector we tend to focus on external threats, but often organisation insiders are more likely to be the source of the breach. In fact you could say insider threats pose a greater risk than external threats as your employees already know where the company’s ‘crown jewels’ are. These crown jewels could include the assets that drive cash flows, competitive advantage and shareholder value. Insiders tend to know what exactly resides on the networks and how to gain access to them for the purpose of theft, disclosure, destruction or indeed manipulation. For example the leaking and disclosure of critical information could lead to the manipulation of share values. This is a far more effective means of profiting through cybercrime than traditional fraud techniques. So how do you tackle this problem of insider threats? The solution is that it must be tackled from two angles, both culturally, in the education of your users, and technologically, by putting further controls, restrictions and monitoring in place on your users – for their own benefit and that of the organization they work for. UserLock is an enterprise security software that controls and secures network access for all authenticated users. UserLock helps organizations - including those within the financial sector - reduce the risks of security breaches from insider threats (intentional or not), offer an immediate response to suspicious user behavior and get compliant with major regulations.
