Being unprepared for a cyber breach can have devastating effects to bank’s reputation, especially if customer personal information is compromised. The regulatory landscape has again changed and banks must now comply with new regulations related to cyber resiliency. Many banks are challenged by not having the internal resources in place with both the technical and cyber intelligence competencies needed to address cyber security risk.
Your first step in mitigating cyber risk is to ask yourself the following questions:
- Can you define the potential cyber threats to your financial institution?
- How is your financial institution connecting to third parties and ensuring that they are managing their cyber security risks?
- In the event of a cyber-attack, how will your financial institution respond internally as well as with customers, third parties, regulators, and law enforcement?
If you need help in answering these questions Global Atlantic Partners has the technical knowledge and practical experience to help you both understand and mitigate cyber security risk. Our team of cyber security consultants can help you gauge your current state of cyber risk management practices and readiness by providing the following services:
