Bureau de Change (BDC) operators face a unique cybersecurity challenge: they handle cash transactions, digital records and customer data, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals.
Common Threats
Phishing attacks targeting staff, ransomware on transaction systems, and data breaches exposing customer records are the most common threats facing BDCs today.
Essential Controls
Implementing basic cybersecurity controls — multi-factor authentication, regular backups, staff training and endpoint protection — can prevent the vast majority of attacks.
