As long as there have been employees working in financial services organizations, there have been instances of internal fraud. With technology, financial institutions today now have more ‘touchpoints’ with the outside world, with the goal of enhancing customer service or reducing the cost of information integration. However, this also creates new opportunities for compromised systems. This podcast features an interview with Tom Leuchtner, Senior Product Manager-Anti-Fraud, with Wolters Kluwer, and an expert in anti-fraud systems. Tom will also be speaking in greater detail on this topic at the NAFCU Technology and Security Conference, February 25-28, in Las Vegas.

For those of you that think you’re the best at protecting your credit union from hackers, we’ve finally figured out a way for you to prove it! The NAFCU Technology and Security Conference (February 25-28, 2008, in Las Vegas) will feature a new approach to learning about evolving hacker tactics, hosted by Tom DeSot from Digital Defense. Traditional hacker labs tend to be passive, showing (for example) compromised credit card information being traded live online, but what is even more useful is to show how the information was compromised in the first place. Once you understand how to play offense, your approach to defense may change – especially when you see that it takes just a few keystrokes on a command line to compromise a network.
On the podcast we interview Tom DeSot to learn how the Credit Union Hacker Challenge works. Following a background briefing, participants will break up into teams for a ‘capture-the-flag’-type competition running off of a local network, with increasingly difficult targets. In essence, attendees will have a chance to – legally – be hackers for a day. In addition to bragging rights, there will be also be prizes for the top competitors. This is the second in a series of podcasts highlighting NAFCU Technology and Security Conference speakers.
