In 2024, attackers stole 1.5 billion rubles from the accounts of enterprises and banks themselves. Over 1 billion more disappeared from citizens cards. Regulators expect that GOST for the protection of banking information will help reduce the damage from cybercrime.

In addition, in 2016, nine attacks were made on the bank accounts of enterprises and the accounts of financial organizations themselves with the Central Bank. Fromp2.5 billion, which the attackers were counting on, they managed to stealp1.5 billion

Safety as standard

As RBC notes, according to regulators, the introduction of standards for the protection of banking information will further reduce the number of unauthorized transactions and the volume of stolen funds. According to Georgy Luntovsky, the draft of the relevant document is now posted on the Rosstandart website for public discussion.

It is planned that the standard will be introduced in the fourth quarter of 2024. We are talking about a kind of GOST, which will become mandatory for all participants in the banking system.

Earlier, in an interview with Banki.ru, Artem Sychev, Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Security and Information Protection (GUBIZ) of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, explained that GOST was based on the information security standards of credit institutions already known to the market since 2004, and provisions from various recommendations were added to them.

“In the new standards, we focus on the mandatory nature of, for example, conducting penetration tests, that is, the emphasis is on real practical security,” said Artem Sychev. He added that GOST will provide basic definitions of threats such as spam , skimming , phishing , etc. The standards will also spell out measures to counter them.

Today, banks have already joined the Central Bank standard ( STO BR IBBS ), however, according to the law, their compliance is advisory in nature.

According to Georgy Luntovsky, in the near future regulators also intend to revise the technological requirements for the transfer of funds, and also in 2024 to further amend the requirements for ensuring the protection of information during transfers.
