He also admitted that as a result of what happened this weekend they began to call him again from the Government, although he is no longer available to take on challenges in the public sector: “I told them I was not here, that I was in the south,” he acknowledged.
Jorge Atton, former presidential cybersecurity delegate, referred this Monday to the computer attack that Banco Estado suffered and that during this day forced the entity to close its branches and prevented it from attending its customers in person.
The also former Undersecretary of Telecommunications during Sebastián Piñera’s first term, addressed the situation in the live streaming # VisiondeLideres of Banco Itaú, in which he spoke about “Financial Portability in the light of experience in telecommunications”, as a result of the new regulations -similar to the one he has already implemented in the telephony industry- and which will take effect as of tomorrow.
In this context, he stressed that cybersecurity is extremely relevant for the development of this new modality, since it is expected that most of the requests will be executed digitally. “It is a great benefit, but it has a great associated risk. And in the risks, the institutions are not prepared nor we as people are aware of the acts, “he said.
He said, what happened in Banco de Chile in 2018 and apparently what happened now with Banco Estado points to the same: “It is a blocking of the screens, of all the computers throughout the bank and that was triggered because an email entered to one of the people who work in the bank, who opened it and spread it. It is a technique to capture central information systems ”, she stressed.
“This is so relevant that it is part of the brand image of an institution, especially in the financial part. I don’t want to take advantage of the Banco Estado issue, but obviously you’re going to think twice if you’re going to open an account at Banco Estado. The image is complex ”, added.
In his opinion, a lot of information is going to be transferred in the cloud as a result of financial portability, so there must be banking and regulator rules to avoid problems. “It is a key issue, of image and of the protection of customer data,” he said.
In this context, by the way, he admitted that as a result of what happened this weekend, he was again called by the Government, although he is no longer available to take on challenges in the public sector: “I told them I was not here, that I was in the south”He acknowledged with a smile.
“You do military service once, but I’ve already done it three times. Too much “added Atton, who left the position of presidential delegate to become mayor of La Araucanía, whose position he assumed in replacement of Luis Mayol on November 21, 2018, amid questions to the Government over the death of the Mapuche community member Camilo Catrillanca.
After that, Mario Farren, former Superintendent of Banks, took up his role, who left the position last March, which ceased to exist since then and whose function currently falls to the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) and an interministerial committee (CICS), which proposes, sets and creates a cybersecurity agenda, with the collaboration of the undersecretaries of the Interior, Defense, RREE, Segpres, Justice, Economy and Telecommunications, as well as the National Intelligence Agency (ANI).
