to connect the computers. LANs are typically owned, controlled and managed by a single
person or organization. They also use certain specific connectivity technologies, primarily
Ethernet and Token Ring.
Wireless LAN or WLAN: is a wireless local Area Network that uses radio waves as its
carrier. The last link with the users is wireless to give a network connection to all users in
the surrounding area.
WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)
A WAN is a geographically dispersed collection of LAN’s. A WAN like the internet spans
most of the world. A network device called a ROUTER connects LAN’s to a WAN.
These kinds of networks use telephone lines, satellite links and other long-range
communication technologies to connect. In IP networking, the router maintains both a LAN
address and a WAN address.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
It is a data network designed for a town or a city. It connects an area larger than a LAN, but
smaller than a WAN, such as a city, with dedicated or high performance hardware. Its main
purpose is to share hardware and software resources by the various users. Cable TV
network is an example of metropolitan area network. The computers in a MAN are
connected using coaxial cables or fibre optic cables.
Personal Area Network (PAN)
PAN refers to a small network of communication. These are used in a few limited ranges,
which is in reachability of individual person. For examples of PAN are Bluetooth, wireless
USB, Z-wave and Zig Bee.
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that is gaining popularity among large
organizations that use the global Internet for both intra-and inter-organization
communication, but require privacy in their intra-organization communication. VPN is a
network that is private but virtual. It is private because it guarantees privacy inside the
organization. It is virtual because it does not use real private WANs; the network is
physically public but virtually private.
UPS - uninterruptible power supply
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a type of power supply system that contains a
battery to maintain power to provide power to electronics in the event of a power surge or
outage.

Typically UPS power keeps a personal computer (PC) running for several minutes after a
power outage, enabling you to save data that is in memory and shut down the computer
gracefully. Many uninterruptible power supplies now offer a software component that
enables you to automate backup and shut down procedures in case there's a power failure
while you're away from the computer.
An uninterruptible power supply system generally offers multiple outlets, allowing you to
maintain battery back-up power to more than one device and will also include additional
outlets for surge protection.
Types of UPS
There are two basic types of UPS systems: the standby power system (SPS) and on-line UPS
system. The standby UPS is the most common type of UPS used for desktop computers and
other individual electronic devices. The line interactive UPS is more commonly used in
small business and server situations.
Standby Power System (SPS)
The standby power system monitors the power line and switches to battery power as soon
as it detects a problem. The switch to battery, however, can require several milliseconds,
during which time the computer is not receiving any power.

manage their accounts, and use various banking facilities from any part of the world.

Mobile Banking
Mobile banking has simplified the lives of many people and given them the option to send
money, receive money, check account balance, pay bills, etc. using their mobile phones. And
the best part is that banks offer mobile banking services for free.
Banks provide mobile banking services to their clients in the ways listed here:
The customers can download the mobile application of the concerned bank on their
smartphones and then use it to avail various services provided by the bank. They need to
register for mobile banking separately and receive their login credentials to use mobile
banking applications, simply known as mobile apps. Most banks provide mobile apps for
iOS and Android devices.
Different banks offer mobile apps to their customers to help them carry out common
banking transactions conveniently. Some banks offer different mobile apps for different
banking services. For instance, the bank may offer an e-Passbook app that only serves the
purpose of account balance check since the app acts like a digital passbook and there is
another mobile app for other services such as funds transfer, bill payment, and more in
addition to balance check. The customers can choose to download one or more apps
provided by the bank to avail mobile banking services. Some of the major mobile banking
services have been mentioned here:
• Account Access: Customers can easily access their bank account using their
smartphones by downloading the mobile banking All they need is to use their User
ID and password to access their accounts. They can then carry out different banking
transactions instantly.
• Balance Enquiry: One of the main reasons why people used to visit the bank was to
keep their passbooks updated so that they always knew their current balance. When
the balance enquiry service was offered through ATM, people started using it
instead of visiting the bank. Now, it is even more convenient to check account
balance using the mobile banking

• e-Passbook: Some banks offer a separate digital passbook mobile app that
customers can download to check their previous transactions and the latest account
balance while others just have this service as a part of their main mobile banking
There is no need to visit a bank or ATM for balance enquiry or account statement.
• Account Statement: If you want to check your bank account statement, you no
longer need to go to the bank or ATM since you can get the statement on the mobile
app of your bank. Since there are only a few free ATM transactions available to
everyone these days, it is better to avail them only for cash withdrawal; account
balance or account statement should be checked using the mobile app. You can also
download your account statement in PDF format and save it on your phone.
• Fund Transfer: If internet banking and mobile banking have made the lives of
people any easier, it is mainly because of this service. People can now transfer
money from their bank account to an account in their own bank or another bank
easily. They may have to pay a nominal charge to carry out interbank transfers but
intra-bank transfers are usually free. IMPS, NEFT or RTGS transactions can also be
carried out easily using mobile apps.
• Bill Payment: Mobile banking has made it easy to pay your mobile, credit card or
utility bills. You can even schedule payments on a certain day of the month so that
you do not have to worry about the payments. There is no need to stand in long
queues to pay your phone bills, credit card bills, etc.
• Branch Locator: If you are in a new city or area, you may need to find a branch of
your bank then you can easily use the mobile banking app to find it. Most banks
have a ‘Branch Locator’ that you can use to find the nearest branch.
• ATM Locator: When you are in a new city or area, you might want to withdraw cash
from an ATM. The easiest way to find an ATM of your bank is to open your mobile
banking app and go to the “ATM Locator.” You will be able to find the address and
exact location of the ATM within your vicinity.
• Requests: There is no need to visit the bank to request a cheque book, new debit
card, credit card, duplicate debit card, etc. since you can do so easily using the
mobile app. Most banks also offer the service to hotlist or block a debit or credit
card in the case of loss or theft.
Most banks offer mobile banking services over SMS. The customers need to sign up for this
service, known as SMS Banking, by registering their mobile number. Then, they can send
SMS to the bank to inquire about their account balance, check the mini account statement,
etc. The bank then replies with an SMS that contains the information requested by the
customer.

The customers do not need to own a smartphone or internet access to avail SMS banking
services. Banks have a specific phone number registered and an SMS format that the
customers need to follow to avail of this service.
For instance, to check the available balance in their account, they may have to send an SMS
in the format: AVAIL BAL XXXX where XXXX is the last 4 digits of the account number. The
bank replies with an SMS with the current available balance in the account.
It is important to note here that the mobile number registered with the bank and the one
you use to send the SMS needs to be same to avail this service.
Banks offer mobile banking over USSD service to people who do not own a smartphone or
have access to the internet. They can simply use USSD codes provided by the banks to avail
banking services. The customers dial a prefix code and click send. Then, they receive a
menu containing the banking services such as balance enquiry, mini account statement, etc.
that they can avail using their phone. This service is quite popular in rural areas where
most people do not own smartphones and do not have access to the internet.
There are plenty of reasons why mobile banking has gained so much popularity ever since
it was introduced in India. Here are a few features and benefits of mobile banking:
• One of the main benefits of mobile banking is the convenience of having banking
services at your fingertips. There is no need to go to a bank or ATM and wait for the
bank to open in order to check your account balance, transfer money, pay your bills
or even see your account statement. You can do it all using your mobile phone. Fund
transfer transactions may complete when the banks are open but you can check
your account balance or get account statement irrespective of the time or day.
• Banks know that everyone does not have access to the internet and that is why they
offer mobile banking services to their customers over SMS and USSD. People who
own smartphones and have access to the internet can download and use the bank’s
mobile apps while others can use the mobile banking SMS and USSD services. The
customers only need to use the right SMS format to avail SMS banking services and
right prefix for USSD services.
• Your bank account and your personal details are totally safe if you use mobile
banking The bank will give you a set of login credentials which you can use to sign
into your account and carry out the transactions. These login credentials are passed
on to you securely and since you are the only one who knows your login ID and
password, your account is always safe. Most banks allow you to enable two-step

verification where you can only carry out banking transactions if you enter the One-
Time Password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number.
• Most people want to avail mobile banking services but think that it will cost them a
lot. However, they will be delighted to find out that banks offer these services for
free. You do not need to pay any extra charges to register for mobile banking Unlike
ATM transactions where you get a limited number of free transactions, you can
check your account statements, balance or pay your bills as many times as you want
without paying any charges. After the implementation of GST, you only have to pay a
nominal charge to transfer funds or pay your bills.

The other feature of EMV cards is that they use both your card and a secret PIN to complete
a transaction. When you use your EMV credit or debit card at a terminal, it generates a
unique encrypted code called a token or cryptogram, which is unique and specific only to
that transaction.
It cannot be used another time. The token is generated from a combination of information
contained in the chip and that in the terminal.
Why is it so important?
A recent response to Parliament stated that, in the three years to FY17, India saw 3,409
cases of reported bank fraud involving credit cards, debit cards and internet banking with
the amount lost at ₹134 crore. In recent times, bank customers have grappled with
increasing attempts to defraud them using practices such as phishing, vishing and card
skimming. The old magnetic cards are quite vulnerable to skimming. Fraudsters place a
skimmer device inside the card swipe slot in ATMs or terminals at the point of sale, to read
the customer data stored in the magnetic stripe.
They then use this skimmed information to clone a new card with identical details. Or
alternatively they transmit this information to fraudsters across the globe who then siphon
off the account balance by shopping online. EMV chip cards prevent such skimming,
because they do not reveal your user data to the terminal at the time of swiping the card
and instead generate a cryptogram.
Indian banks are now vying to attain global standards in product and service offerings.
Therefore, migration to EMV cards is inevitable as it represents the latest standard in credit
card security. Many developed countries have phased out magnetic stripe cards to adopt
EMV technology.
Why should I care?
Because it’s not a good idea to begin your New Year without cash. Banks are all set to
deactivate magstripe-based debit cards this December 31 to comply with RBI guidelines. If
you received your debit or credit card after September 1, 2015, it is likely that it is already
an EMV chip card. If it is older, it may need replacement. You can find out if you already
have an EMV card by examining the left corner of your card where the EMV chip is usually
embedded. If you own a mag-stripe card, your bank should have replaced your card by
now. If it hasn’t, do follow up to get a replacement.

Electronic banking has many names like e banking, virtual banking, online banking, or
internet banking. It is simply the use of electronic and telecommunications network for
delivering various banking products and services. Through e-banking, a customer can
access his account and conduct many transactions using his computer or mobile phone. In
this article, we will look at the importance and types of e-banking services.
Types of e banking
Banks offer various types of services through electronic banking platforms. These
are of three types:
Level 1 – This is the basic level of service that banks offer through their websites. Through
this service, the bank offers information about its products and services to customers. Further,
some banks may receive and reply to queries through e-mail too.
Level 2 – In this level, banks allow their customers to submit instructions or applications for
different services, check their account balance, etc. However, banks do not permit their
customers to do any fund-based transactions on their accounts.
Level 3 – In the third level, banks allow their customers to operate their accounts for funds
transfer, bill payments, and purchase and redeem securities, etc.
Most traditional banks offer e-banking services as an additional method of providing service.
Further, many new banks deliver banking services primarily through the internet or other
electronic delivery channels. Also, some banks are ‘internet only’ banks without any physical
branch anywhere in the country.

payment of bills (electricity, telephone, mobile phone, etc.). Also, most banks charge a
nominal one-time registration fee for this service. Further, the customer can create a
standing instruction to pay recurring bills automatically every month.
Funds transfer – A customer can transfer funds from his account to another with the same
bank or even a different bank, anywhere in India. He needs to log in to his account, specify
the payee’s name, account number, his bank, and branch along with the transfer amount.
The transfer is effected within a day or so.
Investing – Through electronic banking, a customer can open a fixed deposit with the bank
online through funds transfer. Further, if a customer has a demat account and a linked bank
account and trading account, he can buy or sell shares online too. Additionally, some banks
allow customers to purchase and redeem mutual fund units from their online platforms as
well.
Shopping – With an e-banking service, a customer can purchase goods or services online
and also pay for them using his account. Shopping at his fingertips.

Counterfeit notes have become increasingly difficult to spot, so having a cash counter
machine that does this for you is a great way of safeguarding against fake money. By
implementing a process whereby customers pay through the cash counter machine, you
are able to actively use this to ensure that counterfeit money does not enter your
circulation.
Another nifty feature of many modern cash counting machines is being able to have the
bills batched up to a customized amount, so if you need your money in stacks of $200, this
just requires a quick adjustment on the machine and you are away.
If you deal with money in any aspect of your business, then the likelihood is that a coin or
cash counter machine could make a big difference to your overall efficiency.
ADVANTAG
Save Valuable Time
These machines count coins of the same denomination quickly and effortlessly. Simply
separate your coins and dump them into the machine for easy counting. They are
incredibly fast—faster than any employee you have on staff—so you will save valuable
time. Once the target amount has been reached on the counter, the machine will stop,
provide a total, and alert you to add more coins in. All you have to do is move the counted
bag of coins out of the way and dump more in so it can resume counting for you.
When your employees aren’t spending so much time on counting coins in the back room,
they can spend more time with your customers and on more valuable responsibilities, like
cleaning up.
Greater Accuracy
Manual coin counting is difficult and cumbersome to do accurately. It inevitably comes with
errors—it’s easy to lose track and make counting and reporting mistakes when you’re
counting large volumes of coins. Your employees are human, after all. But just one mistake
made while counting coins can add up to an extra 20 minutes or more of recounting—
which is a waste of time. When you invest in a counter, you get greater accuracy, so you
know that your totals will be reported correctly every time.
Decrease in Costs and Losses
Regardless of how common they are, when coin counting mistakes occur, they cost you
money. Miscounting a few nickels might not seem significant, but miscounting dollar and
two dollar coins can quickly add up. Luckily, your new coin counter will guarantee 99.9

percent accuracy, so you won’t have to worry about losing out on your hard-earned cash
because of human error.
And here’s an added bonus: because a coin counter can save you so much time, you can
decrease your labour costs. You can cut your employees shifts by sending them home
earlier since they won’t have to stay late to count coins anymore.
Clean Hands
Coins are dirty. They’ve been passed around from hand to hand and touched a lot of filthy
surfaces before coming into your possession. Keep your employees’ hands clean and germ
free by letting the machine do the grunt work.
A Change for the Better
Whether you’re counting coins in bags or rolling them up for depositing, your organization
can benefit from investing in a coin counter. There’s no reason to be counting them
manually. Make a change for the better and you’ll enjoy time and cost savings, greater
accuracy, increased productivity, and cleaner hands.
Microfiche
What does Microfiche mean?
Microfiche is a thin photographic film, usually four by five inches, which is capable of
storing information in miniaturized form. This technique is used in preserving fragile
materials such as archival documents, journals, books, newspapers and magazines, as well
as a method of saving space in libraries and other archives.
RuPay Card
RuPay card was introduced by the Government of India so as to promote the cause of
financial inclusion in India. It is an amalgamation of the words: Rupee and Payment. It is
regarded as India’s own domestic payment network. The RuPay card was developed on the
line of international networks of payments such as MasterCard, Visa and American Express
and has been giving tough competition to these international card payment networks. In
fact, many people have started opting for RuPay debit cards instead of Visa or MasterCard.
In 2005, the Reserve Bank of India established the Board for Payment and Settlement
Systems in the country, after realising that it was necessary to bring all retail payments
systems together under a solitary channel. This decision led to the formation of the
National Payment Corporation of India. The NPCI introduced RuPay in 2012. Since its

In the RTGS system, funds are transferred from one bank account holder to another on a
“real time” and on “gross” basis. Settlement in the RTGS system happens “Real Time” on a
one on one basis and there is no bunching or batching like the NEFT system, wherein
payments are processed in batches. Once a payment is processed through the RTGS system,
it cannot be undone and is final and irrevocable. RTGS system has been operational since
2004 and is used for settling inter-bank payments.

SWIFT assigns each financial organization a unique code that has either eight characters or
11 characters. The code is interchangeably called the bank identifier code (BIC), SWIFT
code, SWIFT ID, or ISO 9362 code. To understand how the code is assigned, let’s look at
Italian bank UniCredit Banca, headquartered in Milan. It has the 8-character SWIFT code
UNCRITMM.
First four characters: the institute code (UNCR for UniCredit Banca)
Next two characters: the country code (IT for the country Italy)
Next two characters: the location/city code (MM for Milan)
Last three characters: optional, but organizations use it to assign codes to individual
branches. (The UniCredit Banca branch in Venice may use the code UNCRITMMZZZ.)
Who Uses SWIFT?
In the beginning, SWIFT founders designed the network to facilitate communication about
Treasury and correspondent transactions only. The robustness of the message format
design allowed huge scalability through which SWIFT gradually expanded to provide
services to the following:
Banks
Brokerage Institutes and Trading Houses
Securities Dealers
Asset Management Companies

The Bank automated clearing system (BACS) is a scheme for the electronic transferring of
funds from one bank account to another account. The account is widespread in the United
Kingdom due to the advantages it brings but has also been widely criticized for the rather
slow processing time.

2019 is almost here and with it a flood of lists describing the trends that will define various
fields in the new year. From among these predictions, those related to new technological
standards stand out first and foremost, given that they will end up revolutionizing every
industry, in an age when digital transformation plays a major role. After evaluating various
consulting firm reports, we conclude that these are the nine major trends that will define
technological disruption in the next 365 days.
5G Networks
Spain’s National 5G Plan for 2018-2020 stipulates that throughout 2019, pilot projects
based on 5G will be developed resulting in the release of the second digital dividend. Hence,
the groundwork is being laid so that in 2020 we will be able to browse the Internet on a
smartphone at a speed that will reach 10 gigabytes per second. Data from Statista, a
provider of market and consumer data, indicates that by 2024, 5G mobile network
technology will have reached more than 40 percent of the global population, with close to
1.5 billion users.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
This trend has appeared in all the lineups for a few years now, but everything indicates that
this year will be the year it takes off definitively. This is the year we’ll see its
democratization, while it is even included in the political agenda. At the beginning of
December, the European Commission released a communication on AI directing the
member states to define a national strategy addressing this topic by mid-2019.

Autonomous Devices
In respect to the previous point robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles are some of the
innovations in the category the consulting firm Gartner labels “Autonomous Things”
defined as the use of artificial intelligence to automate functions that were previously
performed by people. This trend goes further than mere automation using rigid
programming models, because AI is now being implemented to develop advanced behavior,
interacting in a more natural way with the environment and its users.
Blockchain
Blockchain technology is another topic that frequently appears on these end of year lists. It
has now broken free from an exclusive association with the world of cryptocurrencies; its
usefulness has been proven in other areas. In 2019 we will witness many blockchain
projects get off the ground as they try to address challenges that still face the technology in
different fields like banking and insurance. It will also be a decisive year for the roll-out of
decentralized organizations that work with intelligent contracts.
Augmented Analytics
This trend represents another stride for big data, by combining it with artificial
intelligence. Using machine learning (automated learning), it will transform the
development, sharing, and consumption of data analysis. It is anticipated that the
capabilities of augmented analytics will soon be commonly adopted not only to work with
data, but also to implement in-house business applications related to human resources,
finance, sales, marketing and customer support – all with the aim to optimize decisions by
using deep data analysis.
Digital Twins
A digital twin is a virtual replica of a real-world system or entity. Gartner predicts that
there will be more than 20 billion sensors connected to end points by 2020, but the
consulting firm goes on to point out that there will also be digital twins for thousands upon
thousands of these solutions, with the express purpose of monitoring their behavior.
Initially, organizations will implement these replicas, which will continue to be developed
over time, improving their ability to compile and visualize the right data, make
improvements, and respond effectively to business objectives.
Enhanced Edge Computing
Edge computing is a trend that relates most specifically to the Internet of Things. It
consists in placing intermediate points between connected objects. Data can be processed
at these intermediate points, thus facilitating tasks that can be performed closer to where

the data has been received, thus reducing traffic and latency when responses are sent. With
this approach, processing is kept closer to the end point rather than having the data sent to
a centralized server in the cloud. Still, instead of creating a totally new architecture, cloud
computing and edge computing will be developed as complementary models with solutions
in the cloud, administered as a centralized service that runs not only on centralized servers
but also on distributed servers and in the edge devices themselves.
Immersive Experiences in Smart Spaces
Chatbots integrated into different chat and voice assistance platforms are changing the way
people interact with the digital world, just like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR),
and mixed reality (MR). The combination of these technologies will dramatically change
our perception of the world that surrounds us by creating smart spaces where more
immersive, interactive, and automated experiences can occur for a specific group of people
or for defined industry cases.
Digital Ethics and Privacy
Digital ethics and privacy are topics that are receiving more and more attention from both
private individuals as well as associations and government organizations. For good reason,
people are increasingly concerned about how their personal data is being used by public
and private sector organizations. Therefore, we conclude that the winning organizations
will be those that proactively address these concerns and are able to earn their customers’
trust.

End user devices – such as computers and cell phones – that have been compromised by
malware pose a risk to your bank’s cyber security each time they connect with your
network. Sensitive data passes through this connection and if the end user device has
malware installed on it, without proper security, that malware could attack your bank’s
networks.
Third Party Services that Aren’t Secure
Many banks and financial institutions employ third party services from other vendors in an
effort to better serve their customers. However, if those third-party vendors don’t have
good cyber security measures in place, your bank could be the one that suffers. It’s
important to look into how you can protect from security threats imposed by third parties
before you deploy their solutions.
Data That Has Been Manipulated
Sometimes hackers don’t go in to steal data – they simply go in to change it. Unfortunately,
this type of attack can be difficult to detect right away and can cause financial institutions
to incur millions of dollars in damages, if not more. Because the altered data doesn’t
necessarily look any different than unaltered data on the surface, it can be challenging to
identify what has and hasn’t been altered if your bank has been attacked in this manner.
Spoofing
A newer type of cyber security threat is spoofing – where hackers will find a way to
impersonate a banking website’s URL with a website that looks and functions exactly the
same. When a user enters his or her login information, that information is then stolen by
hackers to be used later. Even more concerning is that new spoofing techniques do not use
a slightly different but similar URL – they are able to target users who visited the correct
URL.
Computer Audit
Development of Computer-Audit in Banks in India
Computer-technology in banks in India, and therefore growing importance of Computer-
Audit, the IB A made beginning way back in 1990 by bringing out a set of guidelines on
EDP-audit. Subsequently, in 1995, the RBI constituted a Committee under the chairmanship
of Shri. R Jilani, the then Chairman, PNB, to examine the internal inspection and audit
system in banks and to suggest ways to make it more effective. The committee rightly
devoted one chapter in this report discussing the problems of 'Computer Audit' in general
and has made a number of suggestions, a gist of the same is reproduced below.

- Due to increase in the use of on-line application, EDP auditors should place greater
emphasis on security and controls. Moreover, different security and control features for
different systems should be defined and implemented.
EDP audit function should include critical areas like access control and its levels authorized
to make changes in S/W and privileges, etc.
- System of automatically generating inspection reports should be developed for MIS
purposes which would evaluate services management for ordering
rectification/ratification. Exercise of such reports should be a checking point for EDP
auditors.
With rapid advances in Information Technology (IT), institutions engaged in the financial
services sector have actively begun to utilize systems using open network as typified by the
Internet. IS or IT Audit is “the process of collecting and evaluating evidence to determine
whether a computer system safeguards assets, maintains data integrity, allows
organizational goals to be achieved effectively and uses resources efficiently.”
Primarily, vulnerabilities in the Bank’s Information System include:
• Improper system/network design,
• Programming errors, weak or inadequate physical/logical access controls
• Absence of or poorly designed procedural controls
• Lack of back up/contingency procedures
• Ineffective employee supervision, and management controls
• Lack of awareness among employees etc.
Cyber security is critical for every business. But, for banks, the stakes are even higher.
Financial institutions hold important data that may be siphoned off for indulging in fraud
or various other criminal activities. Security measures are therefore indispensable for
Banks. Such measures should be designed in a manner to detect and prevent attempts to
steal consumer data.
Financial threats are still profitable for cyber criminals and therefore continue to be an
enduring part of the threat landscape. From financial malwares that attack online banking,
to attacks against ATMs and fraudulent interbank transactions, there are many different

attack vectors utilized by criminals. Most of the banks or financial institution’s operate with
the use of technology, including the Internet. Without a good cyber security measures in
place, your bank’s sensitive data could be at risk. Here are some biggest threats to a bank’s
cyber security :
• Mobile Banking Risks
• Social Networks and Web 2.0
• Malware, Trojan, Botnets, and DDoS Attacks
• Phishing
• ACH Fraud: Corporate Account Takeover
• Inside Attacks
• First-Party Fraud
• Skimming
• Unencrypted Data
• Third Party Services that aren’t Secure
• Spoofing
• Data Breaches
Primary goal of our Bank IS audit is to determine information and related technological
security loopholes and recommend feasible solution. IS Audit is all about examining
whether the IT processes and IT Resources combine together to fulfill the intended
objectives of the organization to ensure effectiveness, efficiency and economy in its
operations while complying with the extant rules. ANA Cyber Forensic offers following
services and solution to banks:
• IT Asset Management
• ISMS Policy implementation
• IT Service & Facility Management
• Physical (client/server interface, telecommunication, server, data storage, intranet,
internet & Environmental Security)
• User & Access Management
• Database Access & Network Security Management

The Reserve Bank of India issued new guidance in April 2011 for banks to mitigate the
risks of use of information technology in banking operations. RBI guidelines are result of
the Working Group's recommendations on information security, electronic banking,
technology risk management and cyber fraud. The Working Group was formed under the
chairmanship of G. Gopalakrishna, the executive director of RBI in April 2010.
The guidance is largely driven by the need for mitigating cyber threats emerging from
increasing adoption of IT by commercial banks in India.
Recommendations are made in nine broad areas, including-
IT Governance: emphasizes the IT risk management accountability on a bank's board of
directors and executive management. Focus includes creating an organizational structure
and process to ensure that a bank's IT security sustains and extends business strategies
and objectives.
Information Security: maintaining a framework to guide the development of a
comprehensive information security program, which includes forming a separate
information security function to focus exclusively on information security and risk
management, distinct from the activities of an information technology department. These
guidelines specify that the chief information security officer needs to report directly to the
head of risk management and should not have a direct reporting relationship with the chief
information officer.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all defense against phishing attacks.. Phishing can come in all
shapes and forms, even someone lying to you in person. So while you can’t avoid liars after
your info, you can get better at spotting them.
Criminals can launch targeted phishing campaigns directed at employees’ organizations or
their customers. It’s a bit like a criminal marketing campaign.
In the same way that marketing is becoming more innovative and intrusive, phishing will
become more targeted and effective.
Phishing and banking
Since banking is “where the money is,” phishing practices have evolved to better
compromise banking and financial information. One out of four phishing targets involves
bank information and these are attacks are becoming more and more frequent.
Online banking phishing scams are constantly evolving. So, at N26 it’s something we’re
always on the lookout for.
Customer Education
In the modern business world, too little attention is paid to customer education. This is
despite companies (especially software vendors) releasing more technologically
sophisticated and innovative products that can sometimes leave customers scratching their
heads.
The simple fact is that new and exciting products require new knowledge and skills from
customers. And if customers aren’t educated in the uses and benefits of a product or
service, they won’t be able to recognize its full value.
This is why “customer education” is also thought of as “customer empowerment”. Your
product or service should help customers do what they do best, and do it even better than
before!
Improved customer satisfaction
Imagine you’ve just bought a new car. It’s fresh off the showroom floor, and it’s supposed to
sport some mind-blowing new features that make driving easier and more enjoyable. The
only problem is that you haven’t driven in years!
Your first drive is meant to be fun, but instead you stall repeatedly and keep confusing the
windshield wipers with the air conditioning. Needless to say, you’re unsatisfied with your
purchase. The great shame is that there’s nothing wrong with the car, you just need some
training on how to use its cool features.

The point is, customer satisfaction soars when customers are properly educated in using
the product or service. This is because they’re able to take advantage of all the tools and
features, without running into problems that make their user experience frustrating.
Boosted customer engagement
Customer education improves each customer’s experience of the product, which in turn
increases customer engagement with your brand. And of course, everyone engages more
with brands they trust and enjoy.
Through this increased engagement with the brand, customers will be more likely to renew
or repurchase your product. They’re also more likely to spread positive word-of-mouth
about your product and brand to their friends and colleagues.
Increased loyalty
This probably won’t come as much of a surprise, but satisfied and engaged customers are
less likely to shop around for an alternative product or service. Why? Because they’re loyal.
And customer loyalty has many benefits.
Some of the benefits of customer loyalty relate directly to ROI, like:
● Lower costs to secure each purchase – securing repeat purchases costs companies much
less in marketing spend than it does to secure a new customer!
● Improved brand advocacy through positive customer word-of-mouth and testimonials,
which translates to free high-quality marketing.

customers that they’re in good hands. All of this increases customer loyalty and improves
ROI.
So, make your customer education materials easy to find. Your customer support team
should also be well-trained in recommending educational materials to customers who
report an issue.

transactions, the bank will alert you of the unsuccessful login attempts to your net-banking
account.
Avoid signing-in to your net-banking account via mailers
It is always safer to type the bank URL yourself than getting redirected to it via a
promotional mail or any other third party website. As mentioned earlier a bank will never
ask you to for the login credentials to your account. So if there's a fraudulent email which
offers to redirect you to your bank's website and you enter your personal details on landing
page after clicking it, there's a huge risk of your login credentials being stolen. Hence, if you
receive an email from a bank asking for login details, treat it with suspicion.
Do not use public computers to login to net banking
If you are using a public computer, the risk of compromising your login credentials is
higher. However if you have to login from such places, make sure you clear the cache and
browsing history, and delete all the temporary files from the computer. Also, never allow
the browser to remember your ID and password. Or just go incognito.
