At the forefront of any debate about cyber risk should be recognizing that the threat environment is constantly shifting. According to a recent study, ransomware is anticipated to increase by 485 percent year on year in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and continuous tensions in Flexcube implementation. The newest Colonial Pipeline hack, which occurred in May, serves as a reminder of the destructive nature of ransomware attacks. It also demonstrates how much money criminals are generating from ransomware attacks, which will continue to be a source of worry for many years to come.
In the case of nation-state attacks (such as the 2020 SolarWinds hack and the 2021 Microsoft Exchange Email server attack), the ramifications for cybercriminals are that they now have more sophisticated and powerful weaponry at their disposal. This is in addition to the threat posed by ransom ware in Oracle Flexcube. Financial institutions in the United States are no strangers to cyberattacks, and they must now be even more cautious than they have been in the past when it comes to maintaining their defenses.
Even said, this does not need a comprehensive rethink of companies’ cyber controls or a massive infusion of cash into flashy new Flexcube software solutions. Companies must keep up with rapid technological advancements when it comes to managing their cyber controls. This helps companies show authorities that they control their cyber (and operational) risk.
Operational risks are generally handled in three stages: risk identification, assessment, and mitigation.
Static and discrete are better words to describe what happens throughout the detection and mitigation phases of Oracle banking software. A business that is too reliant on the first two phases of the risk management process may be left exposed to the rapidly changing threat environment, even though they are essential to any risk management framework.
Firms must consequently concentrate their attention on the constant monitoring of critical cyber control KPIs, including the following in particular:
Six critical factors support successful continuous control monitoring across people, process, and technology that we’ve found from our expertise with cyber controls management:
Automation: Automated monitoring techniques should be used wherever possible in place of manual ones. For some years, automated controls have been a hot topic in cybersecurity, but a 2020 ORX study indicated 61 percent of cyber control indicators are still manually operated. Metrics reporting may be time-consuming and laborious if done by hand rather than automatically (through self-service and dynamic dashboards). With the help of automation, you may free up human resources to focus on less time-consuming jobs and less error-prone. This all aims to increase control effectiveness and add adaptability to control management.
