2.9A Transaction Business Controls – 24/7 operational environment taken into account and suggested implementation methods reorganized also clarified the outbound focus of this control.1.1 SWIFT Environment Protection – Inclusion of temporary access as a potential alternative to different jump servers for users and admin connection to secure zone.Incorporated some user suggested implementations.Existing controls: for great efficiency and alignment to reality in light of latest events (increase cyber threats due to covid, remote work, etc).Scope definitions: connectors, general purpose operator PCs, and third-party cloud providers.Clarified a number of guidelines and scope definitions.This introduction gradually supports technology usage resulting from SWIFT’s strategy (such as Cloud and APIs).Differentiates users relying on SWIFT related connectors (or SWIFT footprint), from those relying on customer connectors (no SWIFT footprint).Introduced a new architecture type for users with a non-SWIFT footprint.1.4 Restriction of Internet Access – SWIFT also centralized the guidance on internet access from control 1.1 e) to this control.‘Promoted’ one control from advisory to mandatory. The CSCF v2021 builds incrementally on last year’s version, as SWIFT minimized the number of changes to ensure the community has more time to fully implement the controls from previous CSCF versions. These requirements are of major importance to SWIFT users: in the event of non-compliance with the new control framework, SWIFT could report misconduct to the local supervisory authority and notify users of the SWIFT network. The requirements initially planned are postponed for one year, in addition to the new requirements introduced in 2021. SWIFT had announced that the assessment required for the year 2020 will be based on the 2019 benchmark. SWIFT has also published CSCF v2022 for attestation due December 2022 that can also be kept in mind this year. SWIFT users will need to support their attestation against 2021 standards with an independent internal or external assessment to submit by the end of the year. The annual assessment process gives firms the opportunity to not only ensure compliance with SWIFT standards but also be proactive in strengthening current security measures. Banks and financial services providers cannot risk taking a hands-off approach by relying on the SWIFT network to prevent any fraud. As part of an effort to enhance the cybersecurity of the entire ecosystem, members of SWIFT were required to annually self-attest to an initial set of mandatory cybersecurity controls.Įven with enhanced measures for security, it appears that SWIFT cyber fraud, with increasing levels of sophistication, has been on the rise since 2016. The Customer Security Programme (CSP) is an industry cooperative to reinforce and safeguard the security of information sharing within the entire ecosystem. Since the 2016 cyber-heist against the Central Bank of Bangladesh that resulted in a loss of $81 million, SWIFT introduced a common set of security controls to foster a more secure financial ecosystem. The network has more than 11,000 users in over 200 countries, which makes it an attractive target to cybercriminals looking for banking information to perpetuate their fraudulent schemes. SWIFT is the world’s largest provider of secure financial messaging services to banks and other financial institutions. Open-Innovation and Innovative Ecosystem.Completely in Swift.Ī proof-of-concept is a lot more useful than thousands of words. By elaborating and digging around the by-value Structs concept, we eventually hack the extensions design adding, in fact, the concept of stored properties. It is based on the assumption that extensions don’t accept stored properties but computed ones. That’s the reason about this post: attempting to create a pure swift extension with support for stored properties. One of the most (ab)used workaround consist of relying into Objective-C runtime, by adopting a solution based on objc_getAssociatedObject and objc_setAssociatedObject functions.Įven if there is nothing wrong in these solutions it would be much more elegant a pure swift approach. You will stumble across some nifty workarounds in order to add something that resemble the stored properties concept to use inside extensions (see References). The second common approach is googling around.
