IN RECENT YEARS, THE BANKING SECTOR HAS OPERATED IN AN ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AND UNCERTAINTY, AND THE LOSSES HAVE GENERATED SEVERE DISTURBANCES OF THE BANKING ACTIVITIES. THE REPUTATION AND STABILITY OF BANKING INSTITUTIONS DEPEND ON THEIR ABILITY TO FACE CHALLENGES, WHETHER THEY ARE OF A CRIMINAL NATURE (MONEY LAUNDERING, TERRORISM FINANCING, CORRUPTION O R FRAUD), OR A RESULT OF THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION OR OF ECONOMIC CRISES. THE TREATMENT OF THIS TOPIC IS NOT AT ALL RANDOM, BEING, IN A WAY, CONSISTENT WITH THE INCREASINGLY APPARENT REALITIES OF THE PAST TWO DECADES, AS WELL AS A CONSEQUENCE OF UNDERSTA NDING THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWLEDGE REGARDING THE FACTORS AND PHENOMENA INFLUENCING BANKING SECURITY, PARTICULARLY EXISTING SOLUTIONS OR SOLUTIONS THAT SHOULD EMERGE IN THIS DIRECTION. ON THE OTHER HAND, EVENTS IN RECENT YEARS IN THE BANKING SECTOR HAVE INCR EASINGLY PUT INTO QUESTION A LOT OF MEANINGS OF THE CONCEPT OF “SECURITY”, WHICH ARE NOT AT ALL EASY TO MANAGE.
