This thesis has taken an in-depth look into bank computer security, the bank security officer, and "The 1968 Bank Protection Act."To accomplish this, a questionnaire was developed and furnished to all bank members of the Indiana Bankers Association to be responded to by the bank security officers. This document was based on the premise that this bank officer is ill-trained, overworked by unrelated duties, and generally not interested in security."The 1968 Bank Protection Act" made this officer's position a legal requirement to maintain its banking operation and charged this officer with certain duties.The resultant responses verified the original hypothesis and showed a need for future training.This thesis shows the profile of, a computer criminal and also some cases to illustrate the type and scope of criminal ventures related to bank computer facilities. This was all coupled with an analysis of the law as it applies and offers a training vehicle to bring this officer up to a level of competency in this field.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
