Managing risk to secure a complex and high-threat cyber environment in today’s business

The Monetary Authority of Singapore has established guidelines for technology risk management (TRM), or “MAS TRM Guidelines,” which outline risk management best practises and principles. These guidelines are intended to help financial institutions establish solid governance and oversight for managing technology risk, maintaining IT and cyber resilience, and more.

Based on these guidelines, corporate CIOs and CROs should be playing a foundational role in several essential business activities, including tech deployment strategies. Yet, their major priority today has been cyber and information security.

Chief Information Officers recently shared that cybersecurity will be their top investment priority in 2023. This is an indication that businesses are eager to minimise and mitigate risks to their operations in the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks.

According to the most recent Forcepoint analysis, 57% of ransomware attacks and 65% of cyberattacks in the U.S. and U.K. occurred in the past year alone. Unsurprisingly, ransomware presents the biggest risk.

In the recent Optus data breach in Australia, the personal information of almost 2.8 million of the 10 million affected individuals was exposed, including their passport number, driver’s licence number and/or Medicare card number.

The risk of cybercrime is growing and financial institutions are not immune. In Singapore, 790 bank clients lost around $13.7 million as a result of spoof phishing SMSes sent out by con artists. According to experts, such instances place them in significant danger of having their credit ratings downgraded, losing client confidence and suffering financial consequences.

In light of this, highly structured methods are essential for financial institutions to effectively combat such cyber risks, maintain 360° visibility and comply with regulations.

Designed Analytics: Better Understanding Risk Through Context

Analytical techniques that have been carefully thought out, connect and establish meaningful connections between otherwise unrelated data points. Revealing risk indicators at their earliest point of detection enables financial institutions to improve their understanding. Analytics tools will accelerate the investigation of fraudulent activity and human behaviour, enabling ‘breadcrumb’ and early warning indicators that are typically only discovered through post-incident investigation efforts.

Insider Threat: Reframing the Problem

“Insider threats” are a complex and ever-changing peril that financial institutions face in every sector of essential infrastructure. To prevent employees from being viewed as an inherent threat to the organisation, the separation of duties and responsibilities will redefine the unit of measurement.

Cybersecurity:Juggling Multiple Tools

Haphazardly utilising a wide range of devices to safeguard and back up data has significant risks. To make sure that the access and use of data, as well as how it is kept, shared, managed, and protected across the company, are entirely obvious, a clearly defined plan and precise areas of responsibility are essential.

Security Policies: Move from a Reactive to a Proactive Posture

Instrument controls based on staff-level risk understanding are effective. Security managers should automate the progressive application of security policies throughout the environment while also empowering risk managers at the front line of defence to make better decisions.

‘Zero Trust’: Will this shape how financial institutions operate in the future?

Encouraging the entire organisation to adopt a zero-trust framework to focus on scalability and operational efficiency is vital in the current landscape. As will be looking at methods to manage the multiple security tools challenges. While driving operational efficiency, organisations will incur costs to adhere to new regulations.
