ReadiMinds Announces Survey Results:
"State of Online Security in Financial Institutions-2010-11"


Singapore and Bangalore/India. September 21, 2011.

ReadiMinds is pleased to announce the results of its survey titled "State of Online Security in Financial Institutions-2010-11".

In this third year of survey, ReadiMinds decided to take a single global view, as opposed to surveying individual geographies as in the past. After all, online financial crimes are borderless!

Given the highly dynamic nature of online security industry, in this year 2010-11 version of our survey, ReadiMinds decided to conduct one-point surveys at regular intervals, covering the most topical subject then, as opposed to taking a snap-shot approach once a year. We felt this process would yield better insight about the state of evolving online security in financial institutions.

This year ReadiMinds has also involved wider and bigger global community of online security experts and senior executives from the financial industry.

And indeed, it has been an interesting outcome.
