Customer’s bank accounts are accessible via many channels i.e Branch, Net Banking, Mobile Banking, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, NACH-Debit, UPI, AEPS etc. Bank Cyber Security Teams hence have to always be ready with many strategies to thwart cyber crooks.

The hottest sector for cyber criminals is financial institutions and cybercriminals are way ahead in the latest cyber-attack technologies.

Thus, there is an urgent for the Bank’s Cyber Security team to be part of a vibrant networking chain.

The cyber crooks can target bank infrastructure including SWIFT infrastructure. DDoS is a dreaded scenario for Banks. At the same time, banks customers too are targeted via phishing/vishing scams or exploiting vulnerabilities of the devices that customers are using.
