Regional, national and international banks manage and operate branches, offices, and other facilities across large geographic areas, requiring coordination of human resources, facilities, and technologies, particularly as an outcome of acquiring or merging with other banks.
Most banks manage their physical security and handle crisis management from an operational risk and security division, and their information security and cyber emergency response from their technology division, which discourages collaboration, cooperation, threat transparency, regulatory compliance, and the development of unified response protocols.
With the rise of digital cyber-crime, external and internal fraud, business disruptions, weather, and fire events – banks need to enhance their crisis management response, resiliency, governance, and business continuity capabilities.
Banks are also facing new national and international regulations, such as GDPR, FACTA, FinCEN, GLBA, and others, each of which requires regulatory compliance strategies and tools.
