One of the biggest custodian banks could do away with one of the most basic modern communications tools for thousands of its employees: email.

Northern Trust, which oversees roughly $10 trillion, is looking at restricting the ability of some employees to send email outside the company as it beefs up its cybersecurity, according to a top executive at the company who requested anonymity because the policy hasn't yet been formalized.

Right now, the firm's email system cautions employees not to send any information externally [...] These warnings are typically disregarded, the executive said, so the firm is thinking about taking more drastic measures.
Northern Trust is also evaluating systems to send files in programs besides email to avoid sharing files with unintended recipients.
