Why Is an Audit Required for an RBI Cooperative Bank?
Additionally, the RBI IT Framework must to adhere to security standards. The framework in this case contains, among other things, networks, databases, servers, applications, and end-user systems. To identify weaknesses and security gaps, a bank infrastructure and assets must undergo regular security inspections. The Co-Operative Banks must take the proper steps to close any security gaps and eliminate any weak points.
Obviously, banks are a prominent target. For example, hackers wishing to launch a simple phishing attack would find the information they obtain about their clients, both persons and corporations, to be of great use. They must be prepared to secure their data since it is so precious and they must be aware of the threats.
The following are the top three insider threats:
1. Altering or stealing sensitive information for one's own advantage.
2. Theft of trade secrets or customer information for commercial gain
3. Hacking into a network, system, or data of an organisation.
Checks for Basic IT Security Assessments
- IT Asset Inventory Control for Business
- Keeping Access to Unauthorized Software Restricted
- Network Administration & Security
- Patch and Anti-Virus Management
- Systems for Secure Mail and Messaging
- Portable Data
Every Co-Operative Bank must have an up-to-date business and IT Asset Inventory record. It should be able to categorise each IT asset according to its sensitivity and include information about each asset's specifics, criticality, and systems that store customer information.
Each cooperative bank should have an accurate, centralised inventory of the approved software that is updated as needed. Additionally, they must to have a system in place to keep an eye on and prevent the installation of unapproved software. Internet use should be limited, and even the web browser settings should be current.
Check the setup of each network device on a regular basis, and update the passwords on a regular basis with some difficulty. Wireless client access systems, access points, and networks should all be protected.
Systems should be in place to keep track of the servers, operating system, and software patches that the Co-Operative Bank personnel are utilising. Even managing the anti-virus software is essential and need to be done centrally.
Systems for messaging and email are very necessary to protect. The message system and the suppliers' and partners' email accounts of Co-Operative Bank should both be protected. Even the controls that are unique to email servers should be used and well described.
If not expressly permitted, the use of portable devices should be outlawed in the banking industry. Even when permitted, it should be checked for viruses and spyware and erased after usage.
