![]() ![]() Most remote access packages can prevent clipboard, USB device, file transfer etc. The developer uses MFA (TOTP, Push Notification, Yubikey etc) into a virtual desktop inside the organisation (Citrix, VMWare Horizon, etc).įrom there, the developer can SSH / whatever into their development environment - which is hosted "inside" the corporate network, or their cloud provider, via internal links.Īll code, and dev boxes live "inside" the corporate network, and only keypresses, mouse movement, and screen diffs are sent back and forth. You've already included the answer - "using their machines as remote terminals, doing most their actual work on some remote server". unless people start browser on server and log into lastpass there, I've seen this happen) I suppose if _that_ is infected, at least Lastpass might not be stolen. And that server is sudo-capable Linux with light/no protection, and see previous paragraph. but they usually ended up using their machines as remote terminals, doing most their actual work on some remote server. (I have also seen some poor souls who were stuck on locked-down Windows machines. Any serious malware should be able to bypass it without much effort, and if it only stays on a single computer, the detection chance is pretty low. And endpoint protection I have seen seems to be really stupid - basically hooking "exec" calls and checking for exact hash match (!). Such machine would be a prime target for malware. It would be normal to for someone to run "npm install" on their machine, or check out a random github repo they read about and run code from it. Most of the security within banks is designed to deal with internal threats since the entire banking system is essentially based on mutual trust which gives individuals even fairly low ranking branch employees the ability to authorize fairly substantial transactions.Īre there any reliable ways to secure remote computers from keyloggers _and_ still provide an efficient software development environment for non-trivial projects?Īll of the software engineers I have seen have a fairly unrestricted environment - Linux machines, with sudo access, often with passwordless root access via "docker" group, and with non-intrusive "endpoint protection" system. when an account in First Capital transfers $1M to someone in First Direct it means that First Capital now owes First Direct $1M which makes First Direct a creditor which is why it will likely quarantine the funds until the transaction is fully verified and settled and even then there still likely going to be a cooldown period to reduce the risk even further. ![]() The attack surface on modern banks especially large ones is actually ridiculously small since you don’t only need to defraud or compromise a single bank but also the entire system and all other banks which are using it since once the offended bank notices some inconsistency it can issue a notice to reverse any offending transactions.Īlso since bank transfers are often liabilities for most banks e.g. Hard currency theft requires a physical attack and “digital currency” is just essentially a spreadsheet that requires a settlement mechanism such as correspondent banking to work.īanks transfers are nothing more than messages going between different branches and banks there is nothing being transferred other than orders. Eh banks run securely because it’s very difficult to steal money. ![]()
