Summary:

Threat of the Week: Breaches, Malware and Your Customers Small businesses benefit when they partner with their institution

Summary:

Small businesses have been a critical component to the health of commerce for centuries. During that time small businesses have become dependent upon financial institutions and vice versa; yet small businesses do not operate under strict regulatory guidelines as do institutions.

While institutions struggle to meet these guidelines with their limited resources, small businesses face a greater challenge involving fewer security alternatives to protect them from the same advanced persistent threats.

A fragile detente exists between organizations. For example, following a significant incident that results in monetary loss, a small business may mistakenly expect their institution to make them whole; however, a small business is likely deaf to the fact that the issue may really be theirs and not their institution’s shortcoming This places the institution in a precarious situation between the added responsibility of looking out for their customer and enlisting the customer’s assistance as a security partner.

Risks to Organizations:

• The potential damages to an institution are long and include: Drop in share price, liquidation, fines, compensation payments, clean-up costs, legal costs, loss of potential business, brand damage, poor customer outcome, staff attrition, rise in insurance premiums and marketing off-set.

Remediation:

• While institutions are required to have customer security awareness training, to further lessen the risks, institutions should devise and embark upon a commercial client outreach program consisting of: regular focused security digests providing current security threats and easy to implement mitigating controls, creating community security groups to meet and share information, sharing security checklists that walk the customer through risks and controls.

Supplemental Material:

• FDIC Consumer Assistance and Information. You’ll find information here on specific banking topics that provide general information on the topic, as well as links to other resources to learn more.

• ICBA Consumer Fraud Loss Protection Plan. Help for community bank members.

• NCUA Consumer Financial Protection. Learn how to recognize common scams, take action if you think you are a victim of fraud, and what you can do to protect your finances from fraud.

• Stay Safe Online. This website helps you get involved by providing educational information, brochures, posters and more help institutions assist their customers at no cost.

A combination of clearly defined roles between the institution and customer, coupled with information sharing regarding current threats and practical recommendations on how small businesses can protect themselves, creates a security intersection where solutions exist to maintain and preserve relationships with the client.

“58% of malware attack victims are categorized as small businesses.”

Verizon 2018 DBIR

“In 2017, cyberattacks cost small and medium-sized businesses an average of $2,235,000.”

Ponemon 2017 State of Cybersecurity in SMBs

“92.4% of malware is delivered via email.” Verizon 2018 DBIR

“60% of small businesses say attacks are becoming more severe and more

sophisticated.” Ponemon 2017 State of Cybersecurity in SMBs

“Advanced malware protection and prevention is the #1 budget priority.”
