Since 2017 and as a result of the Bangladesh Bank cyber heist, SWIFT established a Customer Security Programme which describes a set of mandatory and advisory security controls for participants. All customers need to re-attest and confirm full compliance with the mandatory security controls. As stated by SWIFT’s CEO in May 2016:
The Bangladesh Bank hack was a watershed event for the banking industry. There will be a before and an after Bangladesh.
