With the fast development of banking technologies, informationization brings huge danger to the entire financial industry. Demand for security is critical. On July 10 and 11, NSFOCUS was invited to the “Seminar for IDC Management and Optimization of Financial Industry ” hosted by the Organization Committee of the China International Financial Exhibition. During this meeting, Xie Bin, senior security counselor of NSFOCUS, made a speech named Security Audit in Financial Industry.
Xie Bin began his presentation from the fraud case of Societe Generale, and deeply illustrated security audit from three aspects—risks confronted by financial industry, information security audit of financial industry, and NSFOCUS' solutions for these problems. He pointed out that risks confronted by financial industry are mainly proved by the increasing intrinsic risks of information system, potential danger of centralized processing of financial data, challenges of financial information security, and the greatest danger of “human being”, and came to the conclusion that information audit system is indispensible for risk management.
Is the present IT audit capable enough? Can the present IT audit discover most of the problems? Is IT audit taken into consideration during internal audit of a company? NSFOCUS gave its answers to all these questions respectively.
IT audit attracted lots of attention in the industry in recent years. And Xie’s speech received favorable reviews from attendees, who came from more than 20 organizations and institutions including the People’s Bank of China, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Banking Regulatory Commission, Agricultural Development Bank of China, the Export-Import Bank of China, and State Administration of Foreign Exchange, etc. The atmosphere was very active and heated. Some representatives made further consultation and communication with NSFOCUS employees on some specific questions about financial security audit after the seminar.
