- Comprehensive Cyber Security Framework for Primary (Urban) Cooperative Banks (UCBs) – A Graded Approach: The most important topic for any security and compliance boardroom today is navigating risk in the urban banking context. Preparing for potential cyber-attacks will become more difficult as the financial landscape evolves owing to the development of digital technology. Banks in metropolitan areas cannot afford to remain unaware of the expanding panorama of cyber dangers. As a result, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has recommended extensive cyber security controls in the form of a graded approach for primary (Urban) Cooperative Banks (UCBs). The goal of this document is to emphasize the framework and annexures as per the Reserve Bank of India’s new recommendations on the Comprehensive Cyber Security Framework for Primary (Urban) Cooperative Banks (UCBs).

- Guidelines for Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure: The 2008 Recommendation reflects a shared understanding of the concept of Critical Information Infrastructures (CII) and of how national CII are identified across countries. It calls for the introduction and maintenance of effective policy frameworks to implement the OECD Security Guidelines in relation to the protection of CII and makes recommendations with respect to the protection of CII at the domestic level and across borders. The Recommendation focuses on how governments should demonstrate leadership and commitment regarding CIIP, manage risks to CII and work in partnership with the private sector.

- Guidelines on Information and Cyber Security for Insurers: Information obtained from regulated entities through cybercrime may be used for financial gain through extortion, identity theft, misappropriation of intellectual property, or other criminal activities. Exposure of personal data can potentially result in severe harm for the affected policyholders, as well as reputational damage to insurance sector participants. Similarly, malicious cyber-attacks against an insurer’s and Insurance Intermediaries’ critical systems may impede its ability to conduct business. Such security-related issues have the potential to undermine public confidence and may lead to reputation risks to insurers. Hence, it is essential to ensure that a uniform framework for information and cyber security is implemented for insurers and an in-built governance mechanism is in place within the regulated entities in order to make sure that all such security-related issues are addressed from time to time.
