Bank Network Security Vs. Expert Hackers - Who Wins?

What is bank network security and how does it guard against the presence of expert hacker who seek to gain entrance into their infrastructure?

Digital Thieves

Bank network security is an imperative part of the banking industry because there are always people trying to gain some type of access to the infrastructure of a bank.

In today’s new age of technology the “bank robbers” of times gone by is no longer the same type of criminal that we see. Today’s society is more susceptible to crime and infiltrations than ever before in history. This is because with the abilities that hackers have to infiltrate systems, any bank or open network is susceptible to criminals that are sitting at home on their couch. There is less of a need for external security and more of a need for internal security. The most disheartening aspect of a lack of security is that a bank could be hacked and robbed without ever knowing who it was or were it was being done from. Not being able to put a face or locations on an intruder sets up a daunting task for any network security system.

New Technology

Today’s banking business has taken a dramatic change in the last few years. There has become a trend and a precedent of online banking. Banks are allowing people to access anything and everything in their accounts online without ever stepping foot outside of their homes. This new age in convenience not only allows great opportunities for banks to cater to all of its consumers needs but it also allows a great opportunity for hackers to access a greater amount of information.

The only way to keep ahead of the hackers is by staying ahead of them with the newest and latest in network securities and technologies. By using critical reasoning and problem solving the banking community and its partners are better able to deal with the potential threats that lurk around every corner. Since the world of technology is always changing and the world of securities is always changing, the hackers of the world must also adapt and change to try and stay ahead of the securities industry. Who will win the battle of man vs. computer? The network securities industry is a major business that continues to grow and thrive in a time where computer theft is increasingly present. Unfortunately it is impossible to these companies to catch every hacker and every criminal that enters the web. Hackers will continue to find ways to infiltrate the system just as the bank network securities will continue to find ways of keeping them out. In the end it is a split decision because even if one hacker gets into the system out of a million, the banks have still lost a battle in ever continuing war.
