Find out SWIFT requirements specific to privileged access
The increasing payment frauds in customer’s environments have led to the launch of the Customer Security Program (CSP) aimed at improving information sharing among the community, enhancing customer experiences, and providing audit frameworks. Revolving around the objectives of securing an organization’s environment, restricting privileged access, and responding to anomalous activities, a set of 16 mandatory and 11 advisory security controls have been described to which customer must attest to and have proof of compliance. Among the clauses that customers must adhere to CSP framework around privileged access are highlighted below:Requirement 1
Ensure protection of SWIFT user’s local infrastructure, virtual platforms and control the access of operating system privileged accounts
Requirement 4.1
Ensure passwords are sufficiently resistant against common passwords through an effective password policy
Requirement 4.2
Prevent compromise of a single authenticator factor that authorized access to SWIFT systems by implementing multi-factor authentication
Requirement 5.1
Enforce security principles of need-to-know access, least privileged access and segregation of duties for operator accounts
Requirement 5.4
Protect Physically and logically recorded passwords
Requirement 6.4
Record security events and detect anomalous activities and operations within the SWIFT environment
