Banking Information Security Today - Take Our Annual Survey

Tom Field (SecurityEditor) • March 27, 2009

Angry about the Heartland data breach?

Anxious because you have an upcoming regulatory exam?

Frustrated by the effects of the global recession, and wondering when the heck we're going to climb out of it?

Well, then come share your thoughts on the banking industry in our new Banking Information Security Today survey, which has just launched and eagerly awaits your input.

This is our second annual research initiative aimed at taking the pulse of the banking/security community. Last year's survey, you may recall, brought up the topics of customer confidence, vendor management and security awareness long before the year's events had everybody discussing the same.

What will this year's survey bring? Hard to say, except I know we have some topics you'll want to weigh in on, including:

The real impact of the Heartland breach on your institution;

How you're coping with the recession;

Feedback from you to your examiners about what would improve the regulatory process.

I'm excited about this year's survey - especially that last topic. Everyone's talking about regulatory reform these days, but who's asked banks and credit unions what they think could improve the process? Here's your chance to speak up and be counted.

Thanks in advance for taking time to participate in this year's survey. I look forward to sharing the results and analysis with you soon.

Oh, and if any of you will be at the RSA Conference in San Francisco next month? I'll be presenting these survey results at the event on Friday, April 24. Stop by and introduce yourself, please.
