A growing cybercrime economy has led DNB to choose cybercrime as
one of its supervisory themes for 2012. The aim is to increase
security levels and awareness at financial organisations with
regard to cybercrime.
In 2010 DNB developed a self-assessment tool with regard to data
security. DNB has concluded on the basis of these assessments that
data security is not always up to standard. It has agreed concrete
measures to improve data security with the organisations concerned.
In addition, DNB has discussed the assessment outcomes with several
organisations within the financial sector. This year, the number of
organisations that DNB will assess will increase and the first
follow-up assessments will be carried out to evaluate whether
organisations have followed the measures agreed on earlier with
DNB.
