Ever since the major London banks purchased their first computers in the early 1960s, they have had to balance their dependence on those machines with the need to secure their operations and retain the trust of their customers.   Technological change in the second half of the 20th century prompted British banks to reevaluate their function as trusted protectors of wealth.\r\n\r\n In the City of London, the capital's oldest area and historically its business and commerce hub, the colossal clearing banks employed newly commercialised electronic computers-the processing power of which could transform the highly clerical clearing and settlement process. What unfolded over the following three decades was a relentless modernisation drive. Revolutionising the way that banks and other financial institutions conducted business and interacted with each other and permanently altering the speed and scale at which the United Kingdom's financial sector functioned, this rapid modernisation thrust computer security into the consciousness of bank executives and their clients alike.\r\n\r\n   Dependence on computers quickly grew, and the banks immediately realised the need to secure their new software and hardware. Focusing on the period 1960 to 1990, this book uses newly released and previously unexplored archival material to trace the origins of cyber security in the UK financial sector.   Topics and features:Describes      how institutions managed the evolving challenge of computer security in      the second half of the 20th century  Demonstrates continuity in banks' views of security through the      prism of confidentiality, integrity and availability, and the concept of      resilience  Presents case studies of bank collaboration on computer security      through creation of payment systems like SWIFT and CHAPS  Outlines the shift from focusing on physical security measures to      technical network-protection measures   Explores the relationship between banks and the UK Government as      bank operations became dependent on computer and network technology This work will be of value to students and academic researchers in the history of computing, financial history, and the history of intelligence and security, as well as the general reader interested in contemporary intelligence, cyber security, and finance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont color=\"red\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe Use Stock Images\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause we have over 2 million items for sale we have to use stock images, this listing does not include the actual image of the item for sale.
