These measures will help minimize the risks of errors during financial transactions.
The Central Bank of the Russian Federation has developed and recommended measures for cyber security of employees in the context of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-2019) for financial companies and organizations. These measures will help minimize the risks of errors during money transfers, transactions, maintaining bank accounts of individuals and legal entities, cash withdrawals at ATMs, etc.
Banking operations that are not related to the opening and maintenance of accounts and do not affect the continuity of transactions are proposed to be carried out remotely. For security reasons, the Bank of Russia recommends the use of virtual private network technologies, multifactor authentication, and the monitoring and control of the actions of users of remote mobile access.
Credit organizations are advised to ensure uninterrupted operation of money transfers, as well as opening and maintaining bank accounts of individuals and legal entities. For this, it is necessary to identify employees and minimize the risks of violation of these operations.
Also, financial companies and organizations need to maintain operational information interaction with the Bank of Russia through the automated incident processing system of the Center for Monitoring and Responding to Computer Attacks in the Credit and Financial Sphere of the Information Security Department of the Bank of Russia (ASOI FinCERT) in accordance with the requirements stipulated by regulatory acts of the Bank of Russia.
