Financial institutions, service providers, banks, and credit unions need to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer records. Customers hold these institutions accountable for protecting their non-public personal information (NPI) from threats or hazards that jeopardize their privacy. As these institutions provide more robust online banking services, financial institutions must implement even more stringent security measures to prevent hackers from gaining unauthorized access to confidential merger and acquisition plans, proprietary models and financial or transactional data like credit card or social security numbers.
Regulatory Impact
Legislators have been very concerned with protecting personal and corporate financial information. As a result, financial organizations are subject to extensive regulation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA) and others. In addition, the Notification of Risk to Personal Data Act requires that financial institutions stop unauthorized access to customer or financial data such as
Social Security Numbers, account numbers, statements, acquisition details or other information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.
Anti-virus, spyware and spam protection is not enough to ensure the security of such confidential data.

Failure to manage these ever-changing threats can result in security breaches that violate customer confidence, damage the brand and could result in regulatory sanctions, and/or expensive lawsuits.
