“After all, pure blockchain
theory says that not only will
individual business divisions
of traditional banks become
redundant in future, but there
could also be a real paradigm
shift in the prevailing financial
system, because many inter-
mediary services could be
replaced by a P2P network.”

BDO Unibank now ready to serve Philippine market
The FreeIPA is an Open Source project
sponsored by Red Hat. It resembles “Active
Directory” known from Windows and works
with Linux, Unix, webapp and OTP tokens.
At the last site audit the Eurogiro Security
Group recommended the implementation of
a syslog server to which the staff at ENOC
should have no access. The server is based
on the Open Source “rsyslog”.
The server collects data from all the servers
and devices at ENOC. A dedicated team
checks the daily reports. Scripts have been
developed to report special events and to filter
the information.
The participants were urged
to pay special attention to the
recent “Bank heists” and to
check for vulnerabilities in their
IT environment.
From today Eurogiro members have one more
competitive option to accept transactions from
clients who are sending remittances to the
Philippines.
BDO Unibank’s membership with Eurogiro
complements the bank’s goal of continuously
reaching out to Filipinos worldwide in order to
make remittances back home fast, safe and
easy.
BDO Unibank, the Philippines’ largest bank,
has been the “Top Commercial Bank that
Generated the Largest Overseas Filipino Re-
mittances” for six years – with the most recent
awards received from 2013 to 2015.
The participants also enjoyed the following
presentations:
•
