Recently, the SwissBankingAssociation (SBA) released a whitepaper called “Cloud Guidelines – A guide to secure cloud banking”. The document can be downloaded in German, English and French here – English PDF directly here.
Within this blog posting, I intend to quickly review the whitepaper from a technical security perspective and discuss some the statements provided by the authors. (Disclaimer: Screenshots below have been extracted from the SBA PDF)
10 years ago I visited India with a couple of friends for several weeks – reviewing the pictures today makes me feel like the visit was yesterday. It was indeed a remarkable and inspiring trip – but also something I couldn’t get used to.
I recently asked myself what kind of challenges this could bring along – clearly, the USB forwarding via sys-usb to the dev VM could bring up some challenges. However, it worked like a charm for me – this is how I did it.
The weather forecast was not very promising – but we still got up early and did the circle over the “Mittagflue” peak close to the town of Wimmis, Switzerland. It was worth it – even with quite bad weather conditions, the hike was amazing and I cannot imagine how great the views must be with sunny weather.
We had a couple of hours left before the dark was supposed to set in – hence, we decided to climb the snowy peak of the Bäderhorn in a couple of hours. It ended up a little bit more complicated than we thought.
I’m not sure how the area I visited back in 2007 has developed now in 2019 – but back in 2007, it was an amazing hike from Telouet to Aït-Ben-Haddou. Spending time in Marrakesch beforehand and heading down to the desert afterwards was definitively the right choice.
