BB ‘to announce’ new cyber security guidelines

Bangladesh Bank will soon announce new cyber security guidelines for the banking sector, said the central bank's head of IT recently.

Cyber security does not just encompass technology but processes and human resources, said Debdulal Roy, also an executive director.

He was addressing a webinar on the issue organised by Hoplon, an emerging cyber security company of Bangladesh, in collaboration with Group IB, according to a statement.

Bangladesh Bank has been providing banks relevant guidance for some time now and recommends availing ISO certifications and security operation centres, said Roy.

Cyber-attacks can target all kinds of banking channels—mainstream banking, credit cards, ATMs and mobile banking, said Nick Palmer, VP Global Business of Group IB.
