Abstract: Abstract Cyber incidents can pose a significant threat to the stability not only of the financial system but also of the global economy. Within the financial sector, banks typically have the most public-facing products and services and could be used as entry points for attacks targeting other parts of the financial system. Strengthening cyber resilience is therefore a key area of attention for banking regulators and supervisors. Regulatory expectations on cybersecurity, which can either be embedded into risk management regulations or established as separate cyber resilience regulations, focus on identification, protection, detection, response and recovery capabilities of banks. In terms of supervision, most supervisors are assessing cybersecurity as part of their ongoing risk-based supervisory activities, while others are complementing these with thematic or specialised supervisory reviews. Regulatory expectations generally inform supervisory reviews but in certain cases, such as in testing cyber resilience, supervisors use specific frameworks or tools.
