As Open Banking Creates New Access to Banks’ Networks, Security Among Ecosystem Partners Will Become a Key Concern, According to Accenture Study
As more markets adopt open banking — which mandates banks to open their systems to third parties — it will be increasingly critical for banks to ensure the security of not only their networks, but those of their ecosystems partners as well, according to a report from Accenture (ACN) that predicts key technology trends in banking over the next three years. According to the Accenture Banking Technology Vision 2019, while consumers trust banks to securely hold their data, maintaining that trust as the industry shifts toward open banking will require banks to strike the right balance between robust security and easy-to-use customer experiences. “Security is only as good as the weakest link in the network of ecosystem partners, and the global trend toward open banking is increasing the spiderweb of interconnectivity among banks and third parties — creating additional points of weakness and vulnerability in banks’ network security,” said Alan McIntyre, global head of Accenture’s Banking practice.
