Hooray its finally here... and we thought DFA was tough... at least we know about "banking."

Most of us don't know enough about Technology to pull this off! Good luck everybody!

I've just been reading through this- it looks very similar to the required SCI program at this point - assess the risk, show why the "layers" you have chosen address these risks. It seems like our need for the technology and non-technology areas of the bank to work together is increasing.

The Guidance mentions having a more active consumer awareness & education efforts. We were thinking about having a brochure. Does anyone have one to use as a sample that they are willing to share?

In order to add additional layers of security I have reviewed Trusteer's Rapport, Guardian Analytics, IronKey, my Internet banking vendor's token based solution for buisness banking. What are some other solutions out there that community bankers are considering for consumer Internet banking as well as business Internet banking?

OK
i just posted a similiar question. lol
Can you imagine how many times were gonna have to explain how to use a token? and then to replace them each time they get lost?
at our expense? Oh, and as I'm typing this I get a package from our correspondent bank with new tokens for me because there was a cyber attack on the company that provides our tokens. WOW!
So then who pays for them when that happens to us and we have to reissue everyone of our customer's tokens?

I have not been through the guidance yet. ARe you not able to pass along the cost of replacement tokens as many banks do debit cards?

The thing I find odd is that the OCC has yet to publish anything on this FFIEC guidance while the FDIC put out a FIL over a week ago.

I believe the OCC released a Bulletin (OCC 2011-26) titled Authenitication in an Internet Banking Environment on June 28, 2011 - basically it is just a statement about the Supplement from the FFIEC with the Supplement attached - see below:

I came from a bank that used tokens, now I'm at a bank that opted for OOB. Each come with their own pro's/con's, some we didn't expect on either side.No perfect system-all can be bypassed, so you really have to decide what you're willing to pay for, and what amount of headache & pushback you can tolerate from customers..lesser of the evils ??
We created a "Customer best Practices for online banking", and that's what we use as one tool in customer education. We still need to revise it for our current online banking system, but we are also creating a personal one.

Andy, what bank are you doing business with? Your bank is passing along a debit card replacement fee?? We had to do away with that fee over 8 years ago in order to compete in our market area. I doubt that my community bank could pass on more than $3 of the replacement cost of a token device. If our business customers complain, we are told to refund the fee, so it's easier just to "no charge" them to begin with. Same thing with the Cash Management set-up fee; 95% of them are waived because the customer complains about the $35 one-time charge.

More specifically to the FFIEC questions, my Internet banking vendor is pushing One-Time-Passcodes. Ugh!!! As a customer of a competing bank that uses that method, I hate having to get a phone call or a text message to login. As a banker, I am certainly hoping for an alternative solution.

I just read an article... Password Strength which highlights that while most users are MO-rons when it comes to password strength and security... the fact we, and our service providers, allow them to be is the problem.

A previous poster is right, all systems have flaws, and customer inconvenience is a big concern... but we can and should do better with our user policies. I mean internally to our bank I have like a dozen logins of all varying lengths of all varying change cycles, its confusing, but if we didn't we would be killed by our regulators... We should expect similar from our customers, and if they want to be silly and use simple ones or write them down for the world to see, that really becomes their problem... not ours. The more we fight it, the more we will end up in bad shape as breaches occur. Just my opinion though...

Does anyone have a risk assessment template they used that they are willing to share? I would like to update mine, and was wondering what others might look like?

Thanks if you can assist

I have one that I obtained through another source. Of course, the one I have may need to be tweeked a little with to meet some of the new authentication guidance. I would be willing to share if you are interested.

We're looking at one-time passwords via text, email or phone call, as that's what our vendor is offering as one of its FFIEC compliant alternatives.

We're not comfortable with the process or cost of issuing (and re-issuing) tokens, and the management of that process. Knowing how many of our customers lose their ATM cards - and how often, it doesn't seem to make sense to go in that direction (and we also charge customers for replacement cards).

We're also looking at implementing a solution which helps prevent against malware which our end-users may have unknowingly been installed on their computers or in their browsers, as well as man-in-the-middle and man-in-the-browser attacks, which the supplement addresses in greater detail in its appendix.

We use Guardian for personal & business. There are 2 kinds, one does logins only and the full integration will monitor amounts,etc.
We also use OOB isntead of tokens-seemed much better option. Both have pros/cons.

I would NOT go with email for your OOB passwords. Hard lesson learned..when the hackers get into victim computer, they are often getting their emails too.so sending the secure access code to email it will be obtained by the hacker...speaking from experience.

We've also looked into PhoneFactor, Entrust, Trusteer, SilverTail Systems and ThreatMetrix as other options - and are still evaluating.

Thanks for listing the vendors that you are evaluating. There is a couple there that I have not reviewed. Next week I will be evaluating IDology. I stumbled across them in my research. I am looking for something effective, yet as unobtrusive as possible. That is probably just a dream.

We have work to do regarding the customer education requirements of the supplemental guidance. Has anyone partnered with a vendor to provide the content for educating customers? If so, can you share the vendor name and whether you have been satisifed?

Just throwing out that discussions about vendors needs to be in the Private forums. What is here, listings, is fine, but critiques are different, if you take it to that level.
