It has been publicly stated that Commonwealth Bank is currently seeking to shift quite a significant chunk of its information technology division elsewhere. Particularly, it is looking at outsourcing network security operations<\/a>\u00a0to reduce costs due to a growing scandal over its ability to evaluate and report on suspicious transactions.<\/p>\n

The major financial player is seeking substantial cost reductions from its group-wide cybersecurity division. This represents a change of strategy under new head Yuval Illuz, who disrupted processes within the bank. As a result, the organisation has experienced an increase in staff turnover.<\/p>\n

Network Security Up for Tender<\/h2>\n

The bank has since called a tender to move employees and functions of its critical cybersecurity defences to an offshore location. India is the possible destination, in what industry sources believe goes against current industry practice. It is a fact that NAB has its cybersecurity functions in-house. However, they have also acknowledged the possibility to outsource network security work.<\/p>\n

According to a number of sources, operations and those involved range across a number of functions. These range from managing security access through to live monitoring of internal and external threats.<\/p>\n

CBA is highly regarded in its approach to cybersecurity. This is due to a history of big spending to establish industry leadership in digital banking. Consequently, this was a major draw card luring talent to the bank under its previous head Ben Heyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cResources have been tight inside CBA for some time. Consequently, the agenda has moved towards being reactive rather than proactive\u201d an industry source has quoted. \u201cGiven the ongoing threatening landscape and the demands from regulators, banks have a security hole to fill. As a result, the question is; do they do it in-house or outsource it\u201d<\/p>\n

The outsourcing proposal covers hundreds of CBA\u2019s IT staff. This includes dozens of the 700-strong cybersecurity division in an effort to save tens of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n
