|
|
|
|
Terry Gudaitis, PhD, Cyber Intelligence Director, will present at
next week's 2007 Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis
Center (FS/ISAC) Members Conference on how activist groups are
targeting the financial industry. The discussion will include
various "attack" scenarios of how these groups have operated in the
past and how their past behaviors will provide indicators of their
future behaviors against the financial services community. Some of
these groups (i.e., SHAC, ALF, RAN, RisingTide) have demonstrated
their ability to target executives, vandalize, and escalate past the
point of a peaceful protest. In addition, Dr. Gudaitis will also
discuss how to gain insight/information about these groups and what
an organization can do from a number of departmental perspectives to
maintain security and brand preservation.

WHY:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Attacks by activist groups targeting the financial services industry
are growing in number and sophistication. Due to these growing
threats, it is important to gain a better understanding into the
minds, the objectives, and the protest methods of these activist
groups. There are several categories of protest groups such as
antiwar, animal rights, and clean energy. These groups, due to
electronic communication (i.e., Web sites, forums, listservs) have
shared strategies, publicized activities, and proliferated their
messages. Activities of these groups range from peaceful
demonstrations, "sit-ins," email petitions, e-campaigns, and
picketing outside facilities and residences to acts of violence.
Financial services organizations must understand and take the
proactive steps necessary to protect their clients and themselves
from these ever-changing threats.
