Sr.

I am the Security administrator of “that” Bank, and the "management"
wants to give hosting to some ISP (friend of them), and I think our
security is better than they offer. I'm looking for arguments to rebate
their posture or to demand proves to the IPS about the security they are
offering.

Pablo,
        The hosting for the banks systems depends on the bank.  Most banks use
their own networks, which might I add are very insecure (yes speaking
from expereince.) The networks often consist of commercial operating
systems that are not up to par with the latest patches, as well as
administrators that are drowning in policies. (the bigger banks). Why
don't we hear about them getting hacked more often?  Well, that would be
bad publicity now wouldn't it?

        Are you looking to have your network hosted or are you looking into
building secure banking networks?

Hi all

What are the usual terms and condition about security a Bank may require
to a hosting company?

Legal aspect, security, availability, confidentiality, any interesting
link?.

It’s better to have the hosting into de company or out ?

Thanks
