Do banks need to be able to connect securely?
Indeed, beyond just being able to connect securely , banks need to be able to insure that their employees have secure hardware as well—and the sudden shift to remote access has definitely created some short-term “equipment challenges,” says Emily Larkin, chief information security officer for Abrigo, a technology provider. “Institutions need to make sure employees have corporate–owned and managed devices, which are secured through corporate malware protections, vulnerability detection, AV, patching, and local firewalls,” she says, adding that they need to make internal applications available to external remote workers so they do not use their own uncontrolled equipment or applications.
Can banks use internal applications outside the walled garden?
Applications that historically have been protected by the nature of their architecture as internal enterprise applications are now being used outside that walled garden via internet access, Larkin explains. “That brings about a series of unknowns and potential unidentified application security vulnerabilities.” Banks may be forced to shortcut their hardening processes or ensure appropriate cybersecurity testing has been conducted on these apps, she adds.
Increased Scrutiny Focusing on Kickbacks
With this expansion comes increased scrutiny and enforcement from the DOJ. Even prior to the pandemic, the government had already focused its attention on telemedicine and conducted audits reporting that almost a third of all telehealth claims did not meet the regulatory requirements.
Kickback Schemes Since February
Since the pandemic, the DOJ has focused on these types of schemes. For example, in one arrangement, a telehealth company allegedly used people’s fears surrounding the pandemic as a pretext for a cold call to TRICARE beneficiaries.

However, the government’s focus on AKS violations in telemedicine means there is a simple solution for physicians’ practices looking to get into this space without exposing themselves to criminal and civil liability: avoid entering into any third-party relationships involving the exchange of money for referrals.
