FFIEC Launches Cybersecurity Resources Web Page
On June 24, the FFIEC unveiled a new web page that will serve as a central repository for current and future FFIEC-related materials on cybersecurity. Although the FFIEC did not release any new resources, the launch shows the continuing focus of banking regulators on emerging cybersecurity risks. The FFIEC noted that the launch coincided with a pilot program through which state and federal regulators will assess how community financial institutions manage cybersecurity and their preparedness to mitigate increasing cyber risks. Regulators are particularly focusing on risk management and oversight, threat intelligence and collaboration, cybersecurity controls, service provider and vendor risk management, and cyber incident management and resilience.
