The security of the Automatic Teller Machine is very paramount since it guarantees the security of the money of bank customers. The advancement in information technology has been accompanied by greater insecurity issues. The ATM systems should ensure that they employ the CIA triad principals appropriately to enhance their security. As the consultant of the Bank of North Central Indiana, I would ensure that I assist the bank accordingly to make sure that the ATM systems that they will install will guarantee adequate security for the clients’ financial information.
One way that I would ensure the security of the ATMs installed is by making sure that they are installed in areas that are well-light. This will help the customers to detect any unusual devices that may be installed by hackers to disclose their ATM card numbers. This will help to maintain the confidentiality of the financial information of the banks’ customers. As the consultant of the bank, I would help the bank update its ATMs with more effective security systems such as anti-skimming hardware that will hinder hackers from using counterfeit ATMs to make unwarranted withdrawals.
