Abstract

In this short talk, I summarise insights from the 2015 banking security workshop in Germany. At this annual event, banking and telco security staff and law enforcement officers report on recent attack trends, and discuss how to best detect and prosecute them. This year's main trends were attacks on individual consumers and employees in large businesses, using multiple channels (phone and online).
