Presentation Title: Robbing Banks: Easier Done Than Said
Presentation Details:

Banks have traditionally been a very closed environment: heavily guarded buildings containing ultra-expensive secure vaults, and more recently ultra-expensive mainframes. The last decade, banks have been forced to open-up and provide trading interfaces with their clients and financial partner companies. However most of them embraced the changes too fast, without a thorough understanding of the underlying technologies.

This presentation will focus on Internet Banking robberies and will explain the technical and managerial mistakes that make these robberies a harsh reality. Application security, application architecture, network protocols, ATM/Credit-card networks as well as fraud prevention systems will be discussed, both showcasing problems as well as respective solutions.
