Atiur seeks help to beef up banks' IT security

Star Business Report
Bangladesh Bank Governor Atiur Rahman yesterday sought assistance from IT experts to help prepare a guideline to ensure security of the country's banking sector.
“The banks should be doubly secured in information technology system as we are going for mobile banking," he said.
He suggested the banks, which are going for m-banking service, share or rent their platforms to other banks.
The governor was speaking at a seminar styled “Towards a secured Digital Bangladesh” organised by Bankers CTO Forum in association with Kaspersky lab, a global anti-virus software company, in the BRAC Inn in the city.
Rahman said the banks are responsible to protect their customers' interest so there is no scope to compromise on the security system.
He said, already the financial services have gone through a lot of automation with a number of services. As the total system would be automated within a few years, the system should be protected.
Rahman called for establishing a fund so that people can do research on banking sectors software as well as security system.
The governor said the owners of the banks engage their employees in logging more profit. They should, however, also think about research. He said IT officials of the banks should have a common website so that they can share the security threats and interact with each other about solutions.
Non-resident Bangladeshis can be a good source for sharing their experience.
Speaking as chief guest, ICT Minister Yeafesh Osman said the bankers will have to concentrate on their security system because they deal with the people's money.
Nazrul Islam Khan, national project director of the Access to Information project of the Prime Minister's Office, said, “We could not make people aware both in office or personal level about the ICT security but it is important.”
He hoped that in a year all the district and upazila level offices would come under the electronic service. “So, security is a must for all.”
ICT ministry's consultant Munir Hasan said open source software is a way to avoid any kind of security risk. A fund should be created for setting up a research centre so that Bangladeshi people can solve their own problems.
Suk Ling Gun, director, corporate sales of Kaspersky Lab, said corporate houses would replace their personal computers with tablet PCs within some years.
Prabeer Sarkar, distributor of Kaspersky Lab in Bangladesh, also spoke at the event moderated by Tapan Kanti Sarker, president of CTO forum.
