As prime targets for criminals, banks have always faced major inherent security challenges. But banks and other financial institutions today have more business objectives- like evolving banking services, gaining market share, enabling sustainability, securing assets, enhancing infrastructure, achieving compliance, transforming the branch and even ensuring survival. During a time when the fight for survival often undermines everything else, financial institutions may feel compelled to temporarily side-line critical operational initiatives such as security.

However in a world of evolving threats, increased regulatory requirements, consumer expectations for security and intense scrutiny of the bottom line, financial institutions cannot afford to side-line critical operational initiative like security. Hence they must take the lead to develop security strategies that will protect their assets and those of their consumers while delivering value to the entire enterprise.

Thus a renewed focus on security is required and security must be viewed not just as a tactic, but as part of the overall business strategy.
