RE: Any banking security best practices and survey information?

Hello FC,

Thx for your advise.

In fact, what I want to know is the general security best practices for
banking industry. Cause I have already explored those specific regulations
about banking, but those are specific, but I want to know is the general
best practices how those regulations were based on.

Please advise.

Thx.

Ricci

Lots of regulations about banking in this context. If you are
involved in providing information to banks on security issues, how
come you don't already know the information about what regulations
apply? I ask this question because I am deeply concerned about people
putting themselves forth as experts when they are not experts.
