RBI Cyber Security Framework For Banks
Determine the effectiveness of IT Security Controls
Need for Cyber Security Framework for Banks
Banks’ use of information technology has expanded quickly and is now a key component of their operational strategy. The financial services industry topped the list of 26 different industries that are most targeted by cybercriminals. Financial services remain the industry most susceptible to malicious email traffickers, as consumers are seven times more likely to be the victim of an attack originating from a spoofed email with a bank brand versus one from any other industry.
How it works?
