Service Overview

SWIFT has provided a security framework under its Customer Security Program for all of its users to address the growing needs of security and transparency as a community to combat the increase in the cyber fraud. The SWIFT CSP program aims at detection and prevention of fraudulent activity by means of a set of mandatory security controls (SWIFT CSCF) and community wide information sharing initiative. All security requirements can be categorized into three major activities:

  • Secure your Environment
