Securing the future of remote work: Novel cyber threat mitigation strategies

The business environment has been greatly changed by the COVID-19 pandemic, accelerating the shift to remote work and increasing organizations' susceptibility to cyber threats. Conventional security approaches that concentrate on perimeter defense have been ineffective in addressing the challenges of remote work environments. This thesis examines new risk mitigation strategies for addressing cyber threats, focusing on implementation and effectiveness of zero-trust security frameworks. This study uses a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods, including whitepapers analysis and expert questionnaires, to identify significant cybersecurity threats linked to remote work. It assesses the effectiveness of zero-trust principles and explores cybersecurity professionals' perception and understanding. The results show that adopting a zero-trust framework greatly improves an organization's security posture by implementing stringent access controls and continuous monitoring, reducing risks like breaches, phishing attacks, and other cyber threats. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the difficulties of zero-trust architectures implementation, such as the required cultural shifts within organizations and technical requirements.

Development of a web application for a bank transfer system

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to develop a bank web application capable of processing both MT103 and pacs.008 payment types. The system will evaluate whether it is necessary to convert payments to facilitate transactions between different account types. This work includes a comprehensive review of payment types, along with the challenges and limitations associated with SWIFT and ISO standards. Essential functionalities for such systems are identified, and an overview of similar products, their adoption of ISO standards, costs, and available services are provided. The comparison of web development frameworks affirmed ASP.NET Core as the optimal choice for this project. An internal questionnaire identified critical features and prioritised payment types for the application. Based on these insights, detailed requirements and specifications were developed, leading to the creation of the application using the ASP.NET Core Blazor framework. Upon completion, the application underwent manual and unit testing to evaluate its performance and ensure it meets the outlined requirements. This thesis documents the entire development process, from theoretical research to practical implementation and testing.
