Information is one of a financial institution's most important assets. Protection of information assets is necessary to establish and maintain trust between the financial institution and its customers, and maintain compliance with the law and protect the reputation of the institution. financial institutions continue to be threatened by newer sophisticated Internet-based attacks to compromise their confidential information. In December of 2006, the 100 millionth customer record was put at risk through unintentional disclosure, and in 2009, a credit & debit card system endured a data breach when hackers broke in and had access to millions of card holder accounts.
