In March of 2014, the SEC sponsored a Cyber-Security Round-table with SEC Commissioners, staff members, and industry representatives to address the widespread issues of system security and the protection of customer data, and how financial service related businesses would have to address these issues and other concerns raised by auditors.? Also discussed, was how new procedures could be applied to the support the business community at large in order to combat the ever-changing world of criminal cybercrime.

The cyber security landscape changes every day and patches and updates quickly become antiquated and obsolete as soon as they are deployed. The firms that handle customer data are the most vulnerable and are advised to employ the services of specialized firms that use powerful heuristic tools and employ specialist security personnel to help safeguard their environments.
