The attack surface of a bank is vast, encompassing every piece of digital infrastructure from databases storing sensitive customer information, to internal email systems, to mobile banking applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent study by the International Data Corporation (IDC) estimated that banks worldwide would spend approximately $2.7 billion on advanced <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurismtechnologies.com\/services\/cyber-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI-powered cybersecurity solutions<\/a><\/strong>.

Futurism recommends the following key steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Implement robust access controls<\/strong>: The Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) should be adopted to ensure that employees and systems have only the access they need to fulfill their roles. This approach minimizes the risk of internal threats and limits potential damage if credentials are compromised. It is advisable to deploy an intelligent and smart <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurismtechnologies.com\/services\/futurism-identity-access-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Identity and Access Management Solution<\/a><\/strong> (IAM) with an agile multi-factor authentication and access polices powered by AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adopt a Zero Trust security architecture<\/strong>: This model, coined by Forrester Research, operates on the premise of &#8220;never trust, always verify&#8221;. It assumes that every request, whether originating from inside or outside the network, is a potential threat and must be authenticated and verified. For instance, Microsoft successful adoption of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurismtechnologies.com\/services\/zero-trust-managed-security-acceleration-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zero Trust Security<\/a><\/strong> is an excellent use-case, with the approach resulting in a 300% improvement in breach detection and response times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurismtechnologies.com\/blog\/why-do-you-need-zero-trust-for-your-organization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why do you need Zero Trust for your organization?<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deploy advanced AI-based threat detection tools<\/strong>: AI and machine learning can detect anomalies in network traffic, identify suspicious behavior, and predict possible attack vectors. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurismtechnologies.com\/services\/futurism-eagle-eye\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Advanced threat protection or SIEM<\/strong><\/a> can offer a significant advantage. The deployment of Darktrace\u2019s AI system by the Italian bank, Banca Popolare di Sondrio, exemplifies the power of this technology. They successfully thwarted sophisticated cyber threats, saving potential losses in millions of Euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regular software updates and patch management<\/strong>: This practice seems simple but is often overlooked. According to the Ponemon Institute, 60% of breaches could be traced back to an unpatched vulnerability where a patch was available but not applied. Keeping all systems, ports, networks and devices up-to-date with best-in-class <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurismtechnologies.com\/services\/vulnerability-assessment-penetration-testing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>vulnerability assessment and penetration testing<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurismtechnologies.com\/services\/vulnerability-assessment-penetration-testing\/\"><strong> (VAPT)<\/strong><\/a> can help prevent attacks via known vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Establish strong cybersecurity awareness training<\/strong>: Humans are often the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain. A report by Verizon found that 94% of malware was delivered via email. Therefore, regular cybersecurity awareness training for employees to recognize and respond to threats like phishing attempts is of paramount importance to thwart the next big cyberattack on your bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Invest in a robust incident response plan<\/strong>: Even with the most stringent measures, breaches can occur. When they do, swift and effective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurismtechnologies.com\/services\/managed-endpoint-detection-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>detection and incident response<\/strong><\/a> action plan can limit damage and downtime. Notable is Capital One&#8217;s incident response during their 2019 data breach, which allowed them to promptly identify and rectify the issue, while effectively communicating the breach to stakeholders and customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seek expert help<\/strong>: Cybercriminals are becoming more nimble, sophisticated and creative in an age when banks struggle to keep up with intelligent security. Thus, the million-dollar question \u2013 how can you as a CEO or CTO of your bank prevent the onset of these attacks? One of the smartest ways to do this is to seek help from a trusted and credible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurismtechnologies.com\/services\/cyber-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>managed cybersecurity services<\/strong><\/a> provider that helps to deploy the right layers of cyber defenses for your banks and will leverage industry-leading threat intelligence tools and technology to track and stop such breaches in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Takeaway<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As we sail into the uncharted waters of digital transformation, hardening the attack surface is no longer optional\u2014it&#8217;s a strategic imperative. The banking sector&#8217;s role in safeguarding the financial assets of individuals and businesses extends beyond the physical realm into the digital domain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With our relentless pursuit of innovation, customer satisfaction, and growth, we at Futurism stride with an unwavering commitment to harden the attack surfaces for banks and uphold the trust of their customers, partners and vendors. It is not just about protecting against financial loss, but preserving the integrity and reputation of banking institutions in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your bank equipped to deal with a cyber breach?
