- Wealth management software for advisors has grown
by leaps and bounds, offering almost everything a
firm needs to remain technologically relevant.
However, as more process have gone electronic,
this has opened the door for cybercrimes. - Criminals are increasingly attacking through
electronic methods, such as viruses,
impersonation, and hacking. If theres a will a
cybercriminal will find a way, and its up to you
to ensure your firm and clients information is
well protected.

personal data, which can be used fraudulently or
sold on the black market. - Another reason for an increase is the relative
ease an individual can obtain information
criminally. All thats needed on the criminals
end is a computer and Internet connection.

for increased protection. There are two standards
that must be met, and they include your brands
standards as well as regulatory standards. - To ensure the possibilities of an issue are as
low as possible, implanting the most up to date
technologies and software will ward off potential
invaders.
5HOW TO AVOID DATA BREACHES?

61 LIMIT EMAIL COMMUNICATION
- Emails are taken for granted that no one is
watching, when in reality there could be someone
watching every day, studying patterns and
gathering data. - Limit communications via email if possible,
especially if there is sensitive data being
transmitted. - Instead, set up a secure portal where information
can be deposited or reach out via a phone call if
applicable.
72 TRAIN AND SUPERVISE YOUR EMPLOYEES
- Training and proper education can go a long way
in stopping potential attacks at the front line. - Financial institution staff are regularly
required to take certain courses and within them,
there are breakdowns on how to spot potentially
fraudulent activities.
83 INSURANCE
- Wealth management firms should always have
insurance in place, but that insurance should
cover claims of negligence, breach of fiduciary
duty or lack of regulatory compliance. - Not that your company will need to use it, but it
should protect the business against anything a
person might attempt.
94 SELECTING PROPER SOFTWARE
- Lastly, selecting the appropriate software will
help to eliminate any shortfalls your business
may have. - By ensuring your current or future software
safely stores information, you will eliminate
stress down the road.
