India-Pak tensions: Banks tighten cyber security network to ward off any threat

Banks have tightened their cyber security network to ward off any cyber threat in the wake of India launching missile attacks on Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Banks have also improved their security at the branches near border areas due to heightened threat of a counter attack.

“We have strengthened the cyber security mechanism… we have created a 24 hours war room to diffuse any cyber attack… we are prepared for any eventuality,” Punjab National Bank MD and CEO Ashok Chandra said.
