Simple - stop using MS software!
There is NO such thing as securing a Windows server - let alone a Windows network - well enough to safely expedite financial activity.

The government MUST enstate laws forbidding the use of Micr*s*ft software to expedite financial transactions, or cusomer data record keeping.

And the banks should be held accountable for trusting companies that DO use Windows servers
to manage financial transaction and data.

Financial institutions should not be allowed to use consumer compatible software or communications protocols. That's as smart as the military doing "all" their communications using off the shelf walkie-talkies.

Whatever IT professionals decided to do things the way they are now, I wouldn't hire them to empty my trash can.
