Jolyon Clulow, Tesco Bank

What I Learnt When Trying to Build a Bank

Tesco Bank was launched in 1997 as a joint venture between Tesco and The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). RBS provided the IT and operations while Tesco provided the brand and route to market in a partnership which built a customer base of around 6 million accounts. In 2008, Tesco acquired the remaining 50% RBS shareholding and set about building a standalone bank and migrating customers off RBS infrastructure.

Tesco Bank is a unique case study in security architecture and delivery – an opportunity to start with a blank sheet of paper and to design a bank with security 'baked in' from the start. This talk details how we approached the task, the lessons learnt and some of the security architecture decisions which had the biggest impacts on the organisation ... and those which were the most challenging.

Dr Jolyon Clulow leads the IT security architecture and delivery for Tesco Bank in their efforts to build a secure IT capability for a full retail bank and insurance company. His previous positions include roles in engineering, academia and consulting. Jolyon read his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge.

Markus Jakobsson (PayPal)

Why Mobile Security is not Like Traditional Security

Consumers think that smartphones are not computers, while many computer scientists think of them simply as computers with radios. Neither is accurate, and both lead to potential security problems. As examples of the technical type, the battery constraints of handsets cause the traditional anti-virus paradigm to fail, and the limited keyboards of handsets make traditional password authentication frustrating and error prone – and likely to be circumvented by many consumers. I will describe how differences in features and form factor affect security – for good and bad – and give examples of security solutions for mobile computing.

Biography

Dr. Markus Jakobsson is a founder of the security startups RavenWhite and Fatskunk, and a security strategist at PayPal. He has held positions as Principal Scientist at Palo Alto Research Center, Principal Research Scientist at RSA Security, Member of the Technical Staff at Bell Labs, Associate Professor at Indiana University and Adjunct Associate Professor at New York University. Dr Jakobsson is a visiting research fellow of the Anti-Phishing Working Group, serves on the technical advisory boards of Cellfony and Lifelock, and works at PayPal. His research is focused on socio-technical fraud; he has contributed to the knowledge of phishing, crimeware and efficient cryptographic protocols, and is currently focusing his efforts on mobile malware and mobile user authentication. He is an editor of "Phishing and Countermeasures" (Wiley, 2006) and "Crimeware: Understanding New Attacks and Defenses" (Symantec Press, 2008). He received his PhD in computer science from University of California at San Diego in 1997.
