However, it's never a bad time to double check your procedures and review your environment to ensure that the individuals charged with information security within your institution (and there's a good chance that's you) are staying diligent and making sure that security controls are in place and that system activity is being monitored. FS-ISAC is a partnership created to share information regarding threats, vulnerabilities, and events relevant to security of the financial services industry. The partnership is made up of public and private sector entities, including government agencies, commercial companies and academic sources.
