Background:

Cyber-attacks on banks and financial institutions are becoming increasingly pervasive and sophisticated. Cyber risk is today a business risk of critical nature, impacting financial assets, business continuity, trust and reputation. A cyber-incident not properly contained could have a contagious effect, disrupting critical financial infrastructure with serious financial stability implications. With evolving use of technology, it has become imperative to provide the right kind of focus in creating a secured environment and adequate trust in electronic transactions amongst different players and users. Therefore, it is important that at leadership level in banks and other financial institutions there is an adequate understanding of the economic drivers and digital pathways that lead to cyber vulnerabilities, identify emerging risks and address control & process issues. Banks and Financial institutions need to align their strategies, policies and process continuously in line with the evolving paradigm in cyber risk & resilience.
