12 March 2010 - Reports that the Swiss regulator FINMA is investigating the theft of data on up 24,000 private clients of the Geneva private bank of HSBC  Holdings has been met with astonishment by Cyber-Ark, the data security specialist.

"We're surprised as the data theft appears to be down to a lack of privileged account controls at the bank. Here is yet another powerful example of the significant risk of unmanaged and unmonitored privileged accounts," said Udi Mokady, Cyber-Ark's president and CEO.

"We are seeing that organizations now get the message about the high risk of not controlling their privileged accounts and superusers, not recording their privileged sessions and that there are proven processes procedures and products available to help address exactly this type of privileged identity risk," he added.
