It's been quite a year from an enterprise security perspective.

We've seen some truly frightening breaches at blue-chip companies, the likes of Google, RSA and Citigroup.  The entire financial services industry remains on alert, as they know the bad guys are dreaming up new ways to compromise their systems as we speak. In August 2011--just one month's time--hackers were able to steal $2.7 million from 3,400 customers of a major financial institution, according to research by Booz Allen. The losses unfortunately will likely rise, and some bank customers will learn some hard lessons. The risks in terms of bank brands and potential costs are no doubt acute and rising.

To raise awareness, Booz Allen has published the top 10 financial service cyber security trends for 2012. We get into these issues fairly often over on FierceComplianceIT. The trends include the growth of mobile devices, social media and cloud computing as well as the increased risk of malware attacks and increased cyber security regulation.
