Information technology (IT) has been rapidly developed to provide financial services for customers via the Internet. This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across borders. On the other hand, technology-oriented financial services may face various cyber risks such as disruption caused by natural disasters and terrorist attacks, impersonation and other events stemming from unauthorized access, and theft or alteration of data. Once these events occur, they can affect not only companies such as financial institutions but also their stakeholders (e.g. customers) and financial stability. These events lead to indirect effects such as lawsuits and a bad reputation losing a sound customer base immediately. Thus, it is critical to enhance cyber risk management in advance before the nightmare happens, in order to enjoy the benefits of IT. This chapter introduces practical methods of enhancing cyber risk management efficiently and effectively with the framework of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and Basel Accord II (Basel II). It aims to show how to enhance cyber risk management, as well as efficiency, so that sustainable growth is achieved with a balance between risk and return or risk-adjusted return on equity.

PurposeThis article aims to gain insights on the current state of small- and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs’) cyber risk management process and to derive future research directions.Design/methodology/approachThis is done by collecting market insights from 37 recent industry surveys and structuring them based on the steps of the risk management process. From this analysis, major challenges are derived and future fields of research identified.FindingsThe results indicate that deficiencies in risk culture as well as the strained market for IT experts are the major obstacles with respect to the implementation of cyber risk management in SMEs, and that these challenges are similar across countries. The findings suggest that especially the relationship between cyber security culture and cyber risk management should be investigated further, and that a stronger link between the research streams on enterprise risk management and cyber risk management would be desirable.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature by providing a systematic overview on the current state of SMEs' cyber risk management from a market perspective. The findings provide support for the existing academic literature by emphasizing the central role of cyber security culture (perception, knowledge, attitude) for a successful cyber risk management, which however should be addressed in more depth in future (empirical) research.


A most important consequence of de-regulation change has been the transit of banks’ behaviour from acting as financial intermediaries to taking the role as brokers in the structured finance market. The combined effects of financial deregulation, rapid technological change, the evolution of the banking function, and the increasing complexity and diversity of finance activities has left regulatory bodies grappling with the problem of designing appropriate prudential standards. This has been the rationale behind the evolution of capital regulation from the pre-Basel regulation to the 1988 Basel Accord (Basel I); the 1996 Basel I amendment; and then to the new Basel Accord (Basel II). The major thrust of this chapter is to discern the most appropriate and effective regulatory regime for the purposes of achieving financial stability of the system. Accordingly, the occurrence of the recent 2007-2008 financial crisis is raised to offer a preliminary appraisal of the effectiveness of Basel II.

In order to enhance commercial banks’ safety in financial services, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision issued a framework on operational risk management under Basel II. In an ever riskier business environment, it is necessary for Vietnam’s commercial banks to increase their competencies in risk management, especially in operational risk management. This is to ensure a sustainable development for banks in the local market and in the global market as well. In recent years, Vietnam’s commercial banks have developed systems for operational risk management. Therefore, the performance assessment is of importance to improve and enlarge applications on operational risk management, from perceptions, corporate’s culture, procedures to other supportive measures on the field of risk management in Vietnam’s banking system.
