“There are two headlines,” says Kellermann, head of cybersecurity strategy. “One is we’ve seen a dramatic escalation of destructive attacks and counter-incident response. And the other is that cybercriminals and cybercrime cartels have realized that the most significant asset of a financial institution is not wire transfers or the access to capital; it’s nonpublic market information.”
In this video interview with Information Security Media Group, Kellermann discusses:
- The latest attack trends for modern bank heists;
- How adversaries continue to innovate and evolve;
- Essential defensive moves all financial services firms must implement.
