BAGHDAD,
IRAQ
Dear Sirs,
After the many heists that have struck the banking community — and in particular the
SWIFT community — the need for high IT security surfaced again as an urgent necessity
and not only as another module in the Banks’ Infrastructure. Thus, compliance programs
have emerged to make sure that the SWIFT infrastructure is well protected. Under this
need, SWIFT has released the Customer Security Program (CSP) to provide the needed
protection for the SWIFT infrastructure.
Banks are put today in a situation, where they either be compliant with the new SWIFT
CSP standards, or else, they are jeopardizing their reputation, their liability and their future
in the business field – knowing that all institutions must provide the self-attestation evidence
before January 2018 as per the Controls to be released by SWIFT in May 2017 under
SWIFT Customer Security Controls Policy.
SWIFT stated, that the self-attestation evidences of each bank will be eventually published
overtly for correspondents to see who is compliant and who is not. Subsequently,
correspondents will not be willing to work with noncompliant or risky banks. As a result,
banking operations with correspondent banks will be affected. Thus, failing to be compliant
on time will pose risks on the bank’s business.
The Program includes a list of mandatory and advisory controls that guide the banks to
have their SWIFT Infrastructure compliant. This Program is designed to protect the financial
industry from the risks that cover the following aspects of the business (CSP, March 2017):
▪ Financial Risk
▪ Legal Risk
▪ Regulatory Risk
▪ Reputational Risk

This Program is designed to protect the financial industry from the risks that cover the following
aspects of the business:
• Financial Risk
• Legal Risk
• Regulatory Risk
• Reputational Risk
Concerning the Attestation, customers can still perform a Self Attestation as well take benefit
from a third Party to do it on their behalf.
As a result, the CSCF v2020 is now composed of 21 mandatory and 10 advisory controls. Two
advisory controls, 1.3 and 2.10, which aim to protect and reduce potential vulnerabilities on
critical systems where virtualization is being used more frequently, and on critical interface
components, have been promoted to mandatory.
Two new advisory controls, 1.4A and 2.11A, have been introduced to provide guidance on a)
restricting internet access and b) Relationship Management Application (RMA) business control.
Furthermore, advisory control 2.4A has been expanded to include middleware/MQ servers to
help protect the upstream back-office application flows. Additional controls guidance and/or
clarifications have been included in numerous areas, including controls scope, architecture
types, security controls compliance, expectations on general operator PCs, token management
and intrusion detection.
In addition to clarifications on existing controls, the CSCF v2020 should already be consulted to
help customers plan and budget any action required on their end. The CSCF v2020 will become
effective in the KYC-SA, the online repository for customer attestations, in July 2020.
Attesting compliance against the CSCF v2020 will be mandatory by the end of 2020.

As part of the Change Management process for the CSCF, controls updates are usually
announced mid-year, with attestation and compliance against the mandatory controls of any new
version required between July and December of the following year. This is intended to allow
enough time, up to 18 months, for customers to budget, plan and implement updates. The
Change Management process can also include emergency releases if certain changes to the
CSCF cannot wait until the next scheduled release but we anticipate emergency releases to be
a rare occurrence.
In this offering AEG will provide the consultancy, guidance and Support needed for the different
points to achieve the bank’s compliancy. All points that require performing the Gap assessment
relative to the new framework, advising the enhancements to the architecture, educating the
Security Officers, guiding the penetration testing team and performing the security training are
included in the offer in addition to publishing the KYC-SA. The bank will not pay per day for
any enrollment in the Compliancy Assistance. The bank will only pay for ticket and hotel
accommodation when on-site assistance is required. The need of on-site intervention will be
agreed between the Project Managers at both sides.
AEG offers its CSP Compliancy Assessment Contract to include the annual coverage of the
Consultancy, Guidance & Support on the recurrent releases of the Customer Security
Framework, the secure zone SWIFT Infrastructure guidance on the technical enhancements,
documents.
This includes:
• The annual Awareness trainings
• The annual Gap Assessment

Vulnerability scanning is the activity of checking IT assets for published vulnerabilities, so that
they can be followed up, by patching them or hardening the configuration. Further, the tool can
be configured to validate existing hardening procedures and compliance with industry
requirements or bank’s policies.
A console: On which the assets to be scanned are configured. Further the activities of
scanning can be triggered. The tool downloads updates in real team manner from an online
repository. This tool also integrates to the internet via a proxy server. The console needs
connectivity to the scanners.
Scanners: These are the components from which the scans are initiated. This communicate
directly to the assets defined in the console.

1.5. Cyber Security Scenario for Risk Assessment
AEG’s Cyber security Scenario Risk Assessment for SWIFT’s secure zone, is consultancy
service targeted to test various attack scenarios via table-top exercise using either ISO 27005
or NIST Risk Assessment framework. The outcome of this exercise is to check possible ways
that an adversary can gain un authorized access to compromise integrity, confidentiality or
availability of the bank’s SWIFT Infrastructure.
This exercise is intended to evaluate whether the existing controls are enough or whether
additional controls should be added. The scenarios are classified according to likelihood of
impact on the organization. These are prioritized and forwarded for decision to the
corresponding stakeholders.
A report is generated showing results and suggesting risk treatment which is then evaluated by
the bank for budgeting and handling.
AEG’s penetration testing for SWIFT’s secure zone, A technical consultancy service by which a
simulated cyber-attack is performed on an IT Infrastructure to evaluate the implemented security
controls. The test is executed to identify misconfiguration, weaknesses and strengths.
Vulnerabilities may include the potential for unauthorized parties to gain access to accounts,
sensitive data, or the gaining privileges and so on. The outcome of this exercise is a report that
highlights the weaknesses captured in the penetration test, its criticality and its exploitability
level.
The objective of the security assessment and penetration testing of the secure zone network
infrastructure supporting the application is to determine the overall security of the network
segments and hosts within the SWIFT environment, analyze related risks and provide
recommendations in order to mitigate those risks.
How It Works
At Zone I, we simulate the attack from external to internal environments in the following manner :
• Anchor I: From AEG SB to the SAA server
• Anchor II: From the user zone to the Secure zone
• Anchor III: From the BO to the SAA server.
At Zone II, we simulate the attack from internal to external environments: Anchor IV: From Jump
server (s) or file servers.
