6、 gratifying for me towrite this foreword to the secondannual Deloitte Global SecuritySurvey. When we began the firstGlobal Security Survey last year, wecould not have anticipated theexcellent response we received from financial institutions around the globe andfrom the media. This response has suppo
7、rted our desire to have this survey becomean annual occurrence and not just a “one off” publication. We intend to continuethis tradition on an annual basis.It seems that every year, the importance of information security particularly for financialinstitutions grows more crucial and the challenges on
8、 all fronts continue to mount. Chiefamong these challenges is meeting the various regulatory initiatives and preparing forpotential security threats that have not previously materialized. How does an organizationkeep information secure while, at the same time, allowing customers access to theinforma
9、tion to which they are entitled? How does a company keep shareholders happy byreturning good value when cutting costs may mean offshoring, a practice that invitesconsumer concerns? How does an organization protect its information while opening itselfup to customers and partners for revenue growth? A
10、nd how does an organization balanceits stakeholder demands while managing the cost of security solutions to prevent IT attacks?While there are no easy answers to these questions, each one of them is tackled in thisSecurity Survey, some with surprising results. This is a report to which your counterp
11、arts,in financial institutions all over the world, have had direct input. Its purpose is to “tell itlike it is” the extent to which it does this directly affects its value as a benchmark. Wehope that you will find this information useful and that it helps establish organizationaldirection for a very
12、 complex issue.We are deeply indebted to the participants, without whom this survey could not exist.To the Chief Security Officers, their designates, and the security management teamsfrom financial services industry organizations around the world, my heartfelt thank youfor the time that you invested
13、 in this undertaking.Adel Melek, Partner, Global LeaderIT Risk Management & Security ServicesGlobal Financial Services IndustryDeloitte Touche Tohmatsu1Objectiveofthesurvey2Response to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsusinaugural 2003 Global Security Survey wasoverwhelming. We have come to the realizationthat
14、, as financial institutions continue to facean unprecedented number of evolving threats,there will always be a need for the type ofinformation contained in these surveys. Weare, therefore, very pleased to present our 2004Global Security Survey for financial institutions.Deloittes purpose in publishi
15、ng the results ofthis survey is to contribute to the protection ofthe financial services marketplace by sharingcurrent practices and identifying future trendsin security and privacy management.The goal of the 2004 Global Security Survey isto help participants assess the state ofinformation security
16、within their organizationrelative to other comparable financialinstitutions around the world, and againstthemselves year over year, to the extent theyrespond to the survey annually. Overall, thesurvey attempts to answer the question: Howdoes the information security of myorganization compare to that
17、 of mycounterparts? By comparing the data collectedfor the 2004 survey, we can begin to determinedifferences and similarities, identify trends andallow participants to answer more indepthquestions, such as: How is the state ofinformation security changing within myorganization? and, Are these change
18、s alignedwith the evolution of the rest of the industry?Where possible, questions that were asked aspart of the 2003 Global Security Survey havebeen repeated, thereby allowing for thecollection and analysis of trend data. To ensurethat the questions remained relevant and timelywith regard to environ
19、mental conditions,certain areas were re-examined and expandedto incorporate the “hot” issues beingaddressed by financial institutions at a globallevel. Two such areas were Business ContinuityManagement and Privacy. To help differentiatethis survey from any previously existing surveys,Deloitte subjec
20、t matter experts wereapproached and their knowledge leveraged toidentify the questions with the most impact.2004 Global Security SurveyHowwedesigned,implementedandevaluatedthesurveyThe 2004 Global Security Survey reports on the outcomeof focused discussions between Deloitte Touche Tohmatsumember fir
21、ms Security Services professionals andinformation technology (IT) executives of top globalfinancial services institutions (FSIs).Discussions with representatives of these organizationswere designed to identify, record and present the state ofthe practice of information security in the financialservi
22、ces industry with a particular emphasis onidentifying levels of perceived risks, the types of riskswith which FSIs are concerned and the resources beingused to mitigate these risks. The survey also identifieswhich technologies are being implemented to improvesecurity and the value that FSIs are gain
23、ing from theirsecurity investments. To fulfill this objective, seniormembers of Deloittes Security Services group designed aquestionnaire that probed eight aspects of strategic andoperational areas of security and privacy. These eightSurvey ScopeThe scope of the survey was global and, as such,encomp
24、assed financial institutions with worldwidepresence and operations in the following geographicregions: North America; Europe, Middle East, Africa(EMEA); Asia Pacific (APAC); and Latin America and theCaribbean (LACRO). To ensure organizational consistency,and to preserve the value of the answers, the
25、 majority offinancial institutions were interviewed in their country ofheadquarters. The strategic focus of financial institutionsspanned a variety of lines of business, including banking,securities, insurance and investment management. Whileindustry focus was not deemed a crucial criterion in thepa
26、rticipant selection process, attributes such as size,global presence, and market share were taken intoconsideration. Due to the diverse focus of institutionssurveyed and the qualitative format of our research, theresults reported herein may not be representative of eachidentified region.areas, and t
27、heir sub areas, are described in the sectionentitled “Areas covered by the survey “.Responses of participants relating to the eight areas ofthe questionnaire were subsequently analyzed,consolidated and presented herein in both qualitative andquantitative formats.32004 Global Security SurveyDrafting
28、of the questionnaireThe questionnaire was comprised of questions composedby the global survey team made up of senior DeloitteTouche Tohmatsu member firms Security Servicesprofessionals. Questions were selected based on theireffectiveness to reflect the most important operatingdimensions of a financi
29、al institutions processes orsystems in relation to security and privacy. The questionswere each tested against global suitability, timeliness, anddegree of value. The purpose of the questions was toidentify, record, and present the state of informationsecurity and privacy in the financial services i
30、ndustry. Asthis is the second year for the survey, and acknowledgingthe importance of trend data, various questions wererepeated to determine if and how quickly participantswere reacting to changes in the market environment andhow market variables cascaded around the globe. Newquestions were added t
31、o reflect topics being asked aboutby our clients and topics written in the media.The collection processOnce the questionnaire was finalized and agreed upon bythe survey team, the questionnaires were distributed tothe participating regions electronically. Data collectioninvolved gathering both quanti
32、tative and qualitative datarelated to the identified areas. Each participating regionassigned responsibility to senior members of their securityservices practice who were held accountable for attaininganswers from the various financial institutions with whomthey had a relationship. Most of the data
33、collectionprocess took place through a face-to-face interview withthe Chief Security Officer (CSO/CISO) or designate, and insome instances, with the IT security management team.4Results analysis and validationThe DeloitteDEX team helped with extracting the datafrom the survey. DeloitteDEX is a famil
34、y of proprietaryproducts and processes for diagnostic benchmarkingapplications. DeloitteDEX Advisory Services, part of theDeloitteDEX team, use a variety of research tools andinformation databases to provide benchmarking analysismeasuring financial and/or operational performance.Clients performance
35、can be measured against that oftheir peer group(s). The process identifies competitiveperformance gaps and enables management to learnhow to improve the performance of business processes byidentifying and adopting best practices on a company,industry, national or global basis, as appropriate.Once th
36、e DeloitteDEX team received the data, it wasarranged by geographic origin of respondents. Somebasic measures of dispersion were calculated from thedata sets. Some answers to specific questions were notused in calculations to keep the analysis simple andstraightforward.The value of benchmarkingFinanc
37、ial services providers, now more than ever,recognize the importance of performance measurementsand benchmarks in helping them manage complexsystems and processes. The Global Security Survey isintended to enable benchmarking against comparableorganizations. Benchmarking can aid in searching forbest p
38、ractices that produce superior performance whenadapted and implemented. Benchmarking can oftenresult in recommendations for performanceimprovements from the benchmarking findings.2004 Global Security SurveyAreascoveredbythesurveyIt is possible that your organization may excel in someareas related to

49、ardingsimilaritiesandcontrastsbygeographicregionEurope, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)Once again, EMEA respondents are ahead of the packwhen it comes to policy setting, security standards,privacy compliance and having a formalized securitystrategy. Legal and industry regulations, reputation andbrand
50、were among the most identified drivers in ensuringcompliance. Not surprisingly, given the number ofcountries and diversity of languages, EMEA rankedsecond highest behind Canada in commitment andfunding to address regulatory requirements.EMEA ranked in the mid-range when it came torecognizing the val
51、ue of security and its tie to enablingbusiness operations. They had a mid-range ranking whenit came to having the right key performance indicators(KPIs) and the required skills and competencies to addresssecurity. Of all respondents, EMEA ranked the lowest inreporting and tracking security successes
52、. The securityfunctions in EMEA rank highest in employing the greatestnumber of security staff, which in turn, could be directlyrelated to them having the lowest percentage of FSIs whoexperienced a flat budget growth.Outsourcing security staff is gaining popularity as theoption of choice in Europe a
53、nd the Middle East butAfrican respondents indicated that they had notoutsourced any of their security staffing needs.Asia Pacific (APAC)APAC was far ahead of any other part of the world in its viewof security as a key business enabler, which was interesting asthey then went on to report that secured
54、 solutions were notcritical to their business solution or to helping them achieveany form of competitive advantage. Of the respondents whoidentified a high turnover rate of security staff, APAC had thehighest. APAC also had the least of the required skills andcompetencies to meet the security demand
55、s of theiroperating environment. This staff statistic is in line with theregion also having the highest number of security staff beingoutsourced, and may, in the short term, help to explain whythey are among the top regions in having experienced themost number of security breaches.APAC was far ahead
56、 of the rest of the world in havingtheir employees receive awareness and training onsecurity and privacy issues and statutory compliance.APAC respondents had the highest number of policiesthat were described as ad hoc or “best efforts”. The lackof direction and clarity within these policies may be a
57、contributing factor as to why only about 34% of therespondents were reporting on the right KPIs, or did anysort of measuring and tracking at all. If APAC continuesto improve its accountability and governance structure, itwould not take much effort to put them ahead in manyof the areas that allow for
58、 a more secure organization.With the highest number of security staff beingoutsourced in relation to other parts of the world, it is nosurprise that APAC also felt that they were investing lessin security.“Oneofthequestionsmostfrequentlyaskedbyexecutivemanagementandmembers“Oneofthequestionsmostfrequ

61、e ahead of most, andtied with Africa, when it came to holding their securitystaff responsible for a secure organization. Allrespondents acknowledged that they had defined anddocumented job roles and responsibilities for theirsecurity staff, yet went on to say that no LACRO financialinstitutions were
62、 doing any form of reporting on KPIs.This finding may be partly explained by the fact thatLACRO was also the region that had the least requiredskills, leading organizations to hire the most specializedstaff, requiring them to give more direction, resulting inless autonomy. This finding correlates wi
63、th the responseto the number of applications having an identified owner,where they shared the top spot with Africa. Althoughresponsibilities may be defined, it is almost impossible tomeasure whether they are being acted on accordingly, asonly 20% of the respondents stated that they have clearlyoutli
64、ned senior management goals and that performancegoals and metrics are used. Only 20% seek feedback inrelation to the success of their security programs. Indealing with regulatory and legal requirements, 50% ofLACRO respondents felt that not only did they have therequired commitment from their organi
65、zations but thatsenior management funded them accordingly. Similar tolast year, LACRO respondents were highly driven interms of regulations and doing what they were requiredto do “you tell me what I need to do and I willaccomplish it” was the prevailing attitude. Over threequarters of the respondent
66、s felt that legal and industryregulations were the most influential drivers in ensuringprivacy compliance.North AmericaCanadaSimilar to last year, Canada was very competitive andcompliance-focused, in that their decisions and activitieswere driven by what their competitors did, and they feltthat the
67、ir spending was in line with that of theircompetitors. This finding is partly due to the number oflarge banks in Canada and their experience of workingtogether on industry-wide initiatives. Canada had thehighest rate in terms of executive managementcommitment and funding when it came to security pro
68、jectsneeded to address regulatory or legal requirements.Canada led the world when it came to understanding thelink between security and business strategy. This findingmay help to explain why Canada also had one of thehighest percentages of reporting on the appropriate KPIs.Despite this finding, 30%
69、of financial institutions still fail touse KPIs. Canada was the leader when it came to trackingand communicating security successes, both inside andoutside the institution. Similar to other parts of the world,with the exception of the US, Canadian respondents feltsomewhat concerned about the securit
70、y/privacy paradox.Canadian respondents were in second place of allrespondents in having job roles and responsibilities for theirsecurity staffing; they were also tied for first place in thenumber of respondents who increased their security staffover the last twelve months. Less than half of Canadian
71、respondents feel that they currently have the right mix ofskills and competencies to adequately prepare themselvesfor the risks they are encountering. The other 40% feelthat key skills are missing but they have a plan in place toquickly close the gap. When it comes to measuringaccountability, all pa
72、rts of the world fared poorly withCanada being no exception. Less than half of allrespondents had an identified owner for all theirapplications, and less than a third had performancemeasures in place or took the initiative to seek outfeedback in regard to the security programs success.92004 Global S
73、ecurity SurveyUnited StatesWith the largest security staff and the greatest number offinancial institutions with security strategies, it is notsurprising that the US reported that they were likelyspending more on security than any other part of theworld, given the events of the last few years. They
74、alsofelt that they were prepared to take higher risks and bethe leaders in adopting new forms of technology. This is asimilar finding to last year, when US respondents felt thattheir competitors had no relevance to the way theyoperated or spent their money. Of all the respondents, theUS was least li
75、kely to have job roles and responsibilitiesdocumented for their security staff and, just over a thirdhad an identified owner for applications. Although theUS was least likely to have documented job roles andresponsibilities, they were the most likely to have securitylinked to their employee appraisa
76、ls, which raises thequestion of how effective this is if employees do not haveclear guidelines and well defined roles in terms of whatRegional Highlightsthey are to accomplish. Although the US was one of theareas that had security job loss, they did come in secondfor the number of security jobs bein
77、g supplemented oroutsourced. Only slightly more than half of the financialinstitutions felt that they had adequate skills andcompetencies to respond to the increasing number ofthreats. Even with increasing regulation and corporatescandals, over half of the respondents in the USacknowledged that thei
78、r employees had received noawareness or training in relation to security, privacy andstatutory compliance issues in the last 12 months.The US dominated other parts of the world when it cameto dealing with the privacy/security paradox. USrespondents felt more concerned 18% more than in anyother part
79、of the world about the conflicts betweensecurity and privacy regulations.

83、ter. When comparing the responses ofthe larger financial institutions (over 5B in revenueannually) to that of a smaller revenue base (under 5Bin revenue), the results were not surprising. In most cases,the larger the organization, the more mature its securityprograms. Perception of security and its
84、importance to thebusiness was consistent across organizations of all sizes most saw it as a risk management exercise that is key to thebusiness. Executing on this perception is where theydiverged, as 12% more of the larger organizations had asecurity strategy in place and over 16% more of the smalle
85、rfinancial institutions were doing very little in their attempts tomeasure the security programs success. Though smallerfinancial institutions did attempt to identify and report onKPIs, large financial institutions were close to 100% morelikely to be reporting on the right ones. Larger financialinst
86、itutions demonstrated a greater maturity in securityprograms as a whole. Whereas 28% of the largerorganizations had a security staff of over 100 personnel,42% of the smaller organizations had a staff of less than 10.The outsourcing of security functions was more likely tooccur in larger financial in
87、stitutions as was having therequired skills within the organization to meet currentdemands. The smaller financial institutions struggled tofind and attract staff with the adequate skills andcompetencies required to protect the organization fromperceived threats. Budgets are a likely factor, although
88、the majority of budgets of large and small financialinstitutions remained relatively flat: 15% of the largerfinancial institutions saw any form of budget increase,and over 23% of financial institutions saw an increaseover 20%. These increases contributed to the fact thatlarger financial institutions
89、 felt that their managementwas doing a better job when addressing personnelcompliance issues both in terms of commitment andfunding. As with last year, most respondents anticipatedeither meeting or exceeding the old rule of thumb; oneinformation security professional per 1000 users. Fromlast years s
90、tudy, we concluded that this metric is nolonger valid or meaningful. However, for the sake ofmeasuring this metric, it appears that this ratio iscurrently at 1:650.Amid the onslaught of regulatory requirements many of them, open to interpretation globalfinancial institutions are doing their best to
91、adoptbetter practices and security standards. The surveyhighlighted that most financial institutions are attemptingto demonstrate how the controls they have implementedto achieve security align with relevant regulations and thedemands of their customers. Respondents answersreflected the importance t
92、o them of company brand, dataprotection and customer loyalty. To inspire stakeholderconfidence in their security governance, global financialinstitutions are approaching security in a comprehensivemanner, with the adoption of industry standards such asCOBIT, ITIL and ISO 17799. Although Sarbanes-Oxl
93、eydirectly affects SEC registrants, organizations around theworld are using the Acts requirements as a baseline forthe development of security programs. Other regulationssuch as the European Data Protection Directive and theGramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, require specific actions.Financial instituti
94、ons are adopting principles such as thosewithin the ISO 17799 standard for the initiation,implementation, and maintenance of their informationsecurity program. The ISO 17799 standard functions as aninternational benchmark that financial institutions can useto determine whether they or their business
95、 partners haveadequately addressed the policies, plans and proceduresto create a comprehensive information securitymanagement system.113452004 Global Security SurveyCreating an effective security awareness programfor employees aids in the identification andprotection of the organization. Raising emp
96、loyeeawareness of data protection and security issues is anecessary component of an organizations compliancewith legislation and regulatory requirements. Even thoughthe majority of respondents perceived security and privacyas a risk management exercise driven by regulatoryrequirements and country le
97、gislation, the perception hasresulted in an increase in training and awarenessprograms in many financial institutions. Specificregulations such as the US Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) andthe Uniting and Strengthening America by ProvidingAppropriate Tools Required to Intercept and ObstructTerrorism (US PATR
98、IOT ACT), as examples, require allUS-based financial institutions to conduct ongoing,updated training for their personnel around the issues ofanti-money laundering. Programs of this nature are takingplace at a global level as well; as the Organization forEconomic Cooperation and Developments Financi
99、alAction Task Force on Money Laundering have similarrequirements in their report “40 Recommendations”.Other proactive financial institutions are using trainingand awareness programs in various locations worldwideto uphold consistent ethical standards and securitypractices. Developing an effective in
100、formation securityawareness program is a key component of any successfulinformation security strategy, as it provides a financialinstitution with a more knowledgeable workforce and itallows financial institutions to improve in other areaswhere they are currently lacking. The majority ofrespondents d
101、id not have security linked to performanceappraisals, making it difficult to hold people accountablefor protecting data. As high-quality, low-cost, web-basedtraining becomes more widely accepted, financialinstitutions will be able to measure the effectiveness oftheir security programs and, at the sa
102、me time,communicate to their employees their responsibility toprotect sensitive information as well as to proactivelyidentify potential threats.12Responding to new legislation and regulationsalong with the goal of reducing costs, the value ofIT assets is a strategic priority within many financialins
103、titutions. Financial institutions are paying much closerattention to what they own as they seek out industry bestpractices, on how to manage and account for assets. Ayear ago, the majority of our respondents had difficultyanswering questions related to the management of theirintangible assets such a
104、s software and software licensing.Now, new regulations are holding financial institutionsaccountable for exactly what assets they own, whatinformation they may contain, who is accessing them,where they are located and whether the true value equalsthat stated on the balance sheet. These requirementsh
105、ave defined the need for effective asset managementpractices, as financial institutions that cannot answerthese questions cannot demonstrate that they havesecured their data appropriately and met their fiduciaryresponsibilities. Although such regulations are dependenton whether the financial institu
106、tion is public or privateand the geographies in which it operates, benefitsassociated with effective asset management extend thescope of compliance and risk mitigation. Effective assetmanagement practices are being aligned with businessstrategies in the creation of market competitive offeringsand in
107、creasing productivity. Enterprise asset managementis proving to be a strategic approach to reducing costsand generating more efficient operations.Moving business processes to locations with lowerlabor and real estate costs is not new but securityand privacy have not caught up yet. There has beena su
108、rge, over the past 12-18 months, in outsourcing (off-shoring) systems development, application development,management and call centers to remote locations, in anattempt by FSIs to increase their profit margins. Canada,China, India, other far east countries, and the UK areemerging markets to which fi
109、nancial institutions arelooking to offshore their operations. It is estimated thatthe financial services industry employs over 13 million62004 Global Security Survey“Privacyconcernslieattheheartoftheinstitutionsabilitytoadequatelyprotect“Privacyconcernslieattheheartoftheinstitutionsabilitytoadequate

111、ount is moving offshore to help financial institutionsachieve dramatic cost reductions. Although job loss is theprimary criticism of offshoring, equally important is theconcern around consumer privacy. Survey results indicatethat although financial institutions may be willing tooutsource a wide rang
112、e of business processes, includingIT, the majority of them are not prepared to outsourcecritical security functions. As the number andsophistication of security threats continue to increase,smaller financial institutions find it difficult to justifykeeping all functions in-house. One way to meet sec
113、urityrequirements is to increase the pool of expertise and hiremore security staff. The survey demonstrates that themajority of respondents are already facing difficulty infinding and hiring staff with the required skills andcompetencies. As well, the majority of their perceivedthreats revolve aroun
114、d non-core functional areas, likepatch management and viruses. By outsourcing non-strategic security functions, financial institutions may bein a better position to concentrate on their core businesswhile working with their outsourced service providers toenhance their security infrastructure and sup
115、port theirgrowth initiatives.Creating a competitive advantage out of rapidchange and environmental turbulence requiresfinancial institutions to maintain strategic flexibility.September 11, 2001 was the ultimate test of the businesscontinuity management programs of scores ofcompanies. Almost two year
116、s later, on August 14, 2003business continuity management plans were tested againwith the US/Canada northeast power system outage. Thefinal report issued in April 2004 by the US/Canada PowerSystem Outage Task Force puts the losses in theneighbourhood of $8-12B. As the number ofunanticipated external
117、 disruptions continues, andfinancial institutions continue to be highlyinterdependent, focus on building more resilientbusinesses and operating models to minimize the impactof unforeseen events will become mandatory. Forfinancial institutions to effectively build resiliencystrategies, they need to n
118、ot only attempt to identify therisks they face and install the appropriate mitigatingtechnologies, but also to act swiftly to integrate all areasof security affecting their organization with theircorporate strategies. It has become clear that financialinstitutions will need to create competitive adv

Only then will they be in aposition to move from simple recovery to experiencing thebenefits associated with the continuation of businessoperations that are in line with the corporate strategy offacilitating growth an
120、d profitability.Only a very small percentage of respondents felt that theirstrategic and security technology initiatives were wellaligned. The survey showed small steps forward asfinancial institutions slowly begin to focus on optimizingthe availability of all mission critical assets: people, data,t
121、echnology, facilities and core business. This progressionwas reflected in the types of security measuresrespondents implemented or maintained over the last12 months. As the perception of security continuallyevolves from that of a strictly IT issue, resiliency strategieswill take into account multipl
122、e variables, like a severe lossof personnel or cyber terrorism. The survey identified thatonly about half of the respondents take personnel intoaccount within their business continuity plans. With thelack of a holistic approach, financial institutions will find itdifficult to adequately redistribute
123、 their executivemanagement and critical personnel across geographiesand offices in the event of an incident causing massivepeople loss.13782004 Global Security SurveyWhile the privacy policies of many FSIs are stilldriven by regulatory measures in the countrieswhere they operate, a well-devised priv
124、acy strategycan be a major asset in attempts to stay ahead. Theresponses that showed the most improvement over lastyear was in the area of privacy. We attribute this to theincreasing focus on privacy-related concerns, throughlegislation, industry self-regulation, and customerexpectations. The survey
125、 identified that neitherorganizational size nor geographical region had a largeimpact on the fact that most respondents identifiedsecurity and privacy as a risk management exerciserequired to protect brands, and prevent legal mishap.However, as the world becomes more digitally dependentand open, the
126、 security/privacy paradox becomes a majorconcern. The survey demonstrated that some FSIs treatprivacy and security as one and the same. In somefinancial institutions, the security and privacy functionshare the same policies, processes, security privacyprograms and even the same executive in charge.
127、Thedifficulty with this approach is that security and privacyhave their own objectives, their own goals, and their ownrequirements differences that dictate the need for thetwo areas to be examined separately. A good example ofone area infringing on another is when rigorous securityprocesses actually
128、 contribute to a misguided privacy policythat makes it impossible for customers to have access tosensitive information which they are entitled to undervarious privacy regulations. The survey identified thatalthough the fear of customer data being inappropriatelyaccessed was the number one concern of
129、 the privacyfunction, less than half the respondents had theprotection of customer data under the control of theChief Privacy Officer. To avoid falling into this or a similartrap, innovative FSIs are creating separate structures, andsoliciting feedback from all functions involved in thecreation, exc
130、hange, and storage of information. FSIs thatact first to link privacy and security to consumer trust andloyalty will achieve competitive advantage even if themethods by which they achieve that objective need toadapt in the future to reflect a changing technological,regulatory and competitive landsca
131、pe.14The concepts of identity management andvulnerability management process are starting toget some real traction. In a recent survey of 175Fortune 1000 companies, technologies were rankedaccording to their immediacy of planned implementationand level of security spending. Identity and vulnerabilit
132、ymanagement were classified in the top quartile of a fieldof 15 technologies.Many FSIs have long recognized the necessity for strongidentity management for specific business applicationsand transactions. However, with the increase in identitytheft and the level of sophistication of threats andfraudu
133、lent activities, many FSIs feel compelled to adoptsolutions that are for wider use.In January 2004, the US Federal Trade Commissionreported that it received over half a million complaints infiscal 2003 that represented in excess of $4M in losses.When we asked how many companies had experiencedsecuri
134、ty breaches of some kind last year, approximately39% of companies responded that they had. This yearto that same question, 83% of companies responded inthe affirmative. The greatest increase in security breacheshas been in the area of worms and viruses, many ofwhich have emerged in the last quarter
135、of 2003 and firstquarter of 2004. They have had a significant impact onorganizations around the globe. The recent Sasser worm(May, 2004) was so fast moving that many organizationswere not equipped to cope with the pace and, as of thiswriting, many companies are still dealing with itsramifications.Ma
136、ny FSIs are realizing that a vulnerability managementsolution is required to properly manage the associatedrisks. The process would include: A schedule for automated vulnerability scans A way of detecting rogue devices on the network9102004 Global Security Survey A way to track and manage repairs to
137、 thevulnerabilities identified and a method forestablishing accountability for repairs A way to correlate vulnerability data withattack activity The ability to generate reports that detailvulnerability for compliance and auditing activities.In an article by Gartner Consulting entitled Top 2004Predic
138、tions for IT Security Directors, one of the keypredictions was that enterprises that implement avulnerability management process will experience 90percent fewer successful attacks than those that make anequal investment in intrusion detection systems only.Financial services consolidation is a way of
139、 life butsecurity remains an afterthought. A number of highprofile mergers and acquisitions have taken place inthe financial services industry across all sub-sectors,geographies and sizes. This wave was best seen when weattempted to re-approach last years respondents with theopportunity to participa

143、.The majority of the WEF members believe that 40% ormore of their companys market capitalization isrepresented by brand and reputation. The conclusionfrom this is that perception and the resulting risk toshareholder value are actually a greater threat than theloss of specific assets. When people ref

212、scussed by writers and philosophers for hundreds ofyears. Privacy for corporations has evolved into a well-defined methodology, documentation of informationsystems, data uses and requirements. As this survey hasindicated, trust is a major concern for financialinstitutions. When privacy protection is
213、 properly executed,it is a key contributing factor in building and maintainingtrusted relationships.It is encouraging to note that the number of respondentswho had programs in place to manage privacycompliance increased from last year: 67% of organizations have a program formanaging privacy complian
214、ce, compared to 56%Of the respondents who had a Chief Privacy Officer inplace, 25% of them were the same individual as theCSO/CISO. This combining of roles is at the root of thesecurity/privacy paradox, where the question of whetherthe roles are one and the same is open to debate. To holdthe same pe
215、rson accountable for two roles assumes thatperson has the awareness of strategies, methodologies,programs and information requirements for two similarbut different functions. As the survey points out, theareas of concern are different. For security, the focus is onviruses and worms. For privacy, the
216、 focus is onunauthorized access to personal information andmanaging third party information sharing.Respondents acknowledged the following top three areasof concern for privacy compliance:in 2003 Unauthorized access to personal informationPrivacy compliance Managing third party information sharing M

222、hese organizations arecombining proven and effective technologies with theirsecurity strategies. To help them continually adapt andmeet ongoing changes, they are undertaking rigorousefforts to define appropriate KPIs and to structureaccountability in a way that is reflected in eachindividuals perfor
223、mance appraisal. These organizationshave a good understanding of the fact thattechnology, when appropriately secured, can be akey business enabler. They are also prepared to protectthemselves from that same technology that enablesbreaches.One of the challenges to organizations around protectingtheir
224、 information is the fine line they must tread betweenopening themselves up to customers and partners forrevenue growth and balancing this requirement with thecost of security solutions to prevent attacks. These days,the “return on investment” of being a hacker is good;hacking tools are getting more
225、automated and requireless skill to use. Motivation is high because theinformation that a hacker targets increases in value as itbecomes more complete.The way in which financial institutions respond to externalattacks has come a long way since the Morris worm backin the mid 1980s. As virus attacks co
226、ntinue to rise andbecome more targeted (like the Sobig virus which wasaimed at the Internet addresses of financial institutions),organizations need to continue to improve their overallresilience and business processes.Threats such as identity theft, international moneylaundering and theft of intelle
227、ctual property are areasmost feared by consumers, spurred by their need to feelreassured that their financial institutions are treating theirinformation and their money appropriately.Long before Carl Shapiro and Hal Varians book,Information Rules, hit bookshelves across the globe,organizations knew
228、the power and opportunityassociated with sharing information. What the bookpointed out was how easily this could be done on aglobal cross-industry basis with the use of emergingtechnologies. As the world becomes more digitallydependent and open, the security/privacy paradoxbecomes more of a concern.
229、 The survey shows that someorganizations consider privacy and security one and thesame function, with the same policies, processes, securityprivacy programs and even the same executive, in charge.But security and privacy have their own uniqueobjectives, goals and requirements. Thesedifferences requi
230、re that the two areas be examinedseparately. In some organizations, rigorous securityprocesses actually contribute to a privacy policy thatmakes it impossible for customers to have the requiredaccess to information to which they are entitled undervarious privacy regulations. Innovative financialinst
231、itutions are splitting the functions and creatingseparate structures, as well as inviting feedback from allfunctions involved in the creation, exchange, and storageof information.The last few years have produced many differentstrategies to thwart the risks of attacks on information.One of the most i
232、nnovative was from Microsoft.Reminiscent of the “wild west”, when bounties wereoffered to aid in the capture and prosecution of villains,the companys response was to offer a reward of up to$5M for information leading to the arrest and convictionof hackers who attacked their software. Opinions weremi
233、xed as to the effectiveness of this and similar methodsbut they, nonetheless, highlighted the need for responsesbeyond traditional security and privacy practices. Today,our “sheriffs” are organizations such as the FBI, NSA,292004 Global Security SurveyCIA, Interpol and Scotland Yard. In many instanc
234、es, theseorganizations have attempted to identify and capturethose responsible for security crimes but many of thewrongdoers are still at large. As a result, organizationsrecognize the need to take matters into their own hands,by paying closer attention to industry standards andbetter practices. The
235、 best solutions are when thesepractices and standards are infused in proficient businessprocesses along with awareness, education, training,technology and strategy.Financial institutions are under pressure to achievesecurity in an open environment while not interferingwith the corporate strategy des
236、igned to facilitate growthand profitability. The security function faces internal andexternal pressure to implement security and privacysolutions that add value. More emphasis has beenplaced on defining performance metrics and attemptingto calculate the return on security investments. Definingvalue
237、in the context of security solutions is challengingas many organizations look for models that can helpmeasure security efficiency and effectiveness. A securitysolution alone is not the answer there must be a wayof measuring the value it brings and the efficiency thatis created. The efficiencies must
238、 result in direct benefitto the stakeholders through increased revenue orreduced costs.With constant change on the global competitivelandscape, the future of the financial services industry isunclear. The proliferation of networks coupled withemerging technologies has meant new customer needs,new pa
