Financial Services Security Has A People Problem

There aren't too many industries that know more about their customers than banks and insurance companies. But that information also puts them at a big disadvantage when it comes to keeping customer and other data secure. This summer, Forrester asked North American banks and insurers to share their information security objectives and challenges for the coming year and who played what part in keeping the enterprise secure. It turns out that for both insurers and banks finding the right, and enough, security talent is a huge challenge. Security marketers need to go further than pitching the obvious managed security services to banks and insurers and prove their value to a bigger universe of security stakeholders.
