Podcast: Building the best defense against crooks and hackers

Cybersecurity at banks, to quote BAI managing director Karl Dahlgren, is a constant game of Whac-A-Mole as institutions struggle to stay a step ahead of resourceful, relentless malefactors. Yet for all the concerns, banks are only as strong as their weakest link—which in some cases might be an anemic office password such as “1234.” David Bryan, the self-described “Breaker of Things” for IBM’s X-Force Red, reveals how white hat hackers test (and often defeat) the cybersecurity measures businesses have in place, while offering practical advice for keeping bank data secure.
