Data Loss Prevention in the Banking Industry
Leaks of sensitive data may not only weaken a bank’s competitive
position, but also lead to negative attitude on the part of clients
and competent state authorities. Loss of sensitive data on
customers (both private and corporate) and/or their financial deals
is surely the most dangerous type of data leaks.

Data Leaks
Banking security officers lay a special emphasis on
the following types of information security threats
(data leaks):

Data Leaks
 A “dramatic” brain drain to rival companies. Employees
planning to resign may take confidential data with them.
 Loss of corporate customer information. Banks usually offer
special terms to major corporate clients.

Data Leaks
 Leakage of information on bank transactions, i.e. related parties,
accounts and amounts transacted. If such data leaks are made public, a
bank will most surely lose a lot of its clients and become a weaker
competitor on the market. That is why controlling bank staff is a critical
issue.

Data Leaks
 Internal messages, i.e. discussing team problems, mistakes, etc. may
be of great use to rivals and other untrustworthy parties. ICQ and other
instant messengers are usually used in a bank for such work-related
conversations. Sensitive data may be exposed to employees who are
not authorized to work with such information.
