CPMI-IOSCO consultative paper
*Guidance on cyber resilience for financial market infrastructures*







The Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI)1 and the Board
of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)2 today
released the consultative paper *Guidance on cyber resilience for financial
market infrastructures*
<http://t.sidekickopen29.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJN7t5XX4RrRJ0W3LyBlq3M2z18W4XHqpM56dHcqf3wwXv802?t=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iosco.org%2Flibrary%2Fpubdocs%2Fpdf%2FIOSCOPD513.pdf&si=4818764826673152&pi=562f7101-8870-48b5-a6f4-957a75d51f5a>
 (“the Cyber Guidance”).3

Financial market infrastructures (FMIs) play a critical role in promoting
the stability of the financial system. Thus, the cyber risks faced by FMIs
and their level of readiness to effectively deal with worst case scenarios
have been considered top priorities by industry leaders and authorities
alike. The Cyber Guidance aims to add momentum to and instil international
consistency in the industry’s ongoing efforts to enhance FMIs’ ability to
pre-empt cyber attacks, respond rapidly and effectively to them, and
achieve faster and safer target recovery objectives if they succeed.

Key concepts built into the Cyber Guidance include the following:

·         Board and senior management attention is critical to a successful
cyber resilience strategy.

·         The ability to resume operations quickly and safely after a
successful cyber attack is paramount.

·         FMIs should make use of good-quality threat intelligence and
rigorous testing.

·         Cyber resilience requires a process of continuous improvements.

·         Cyber resilience cannot be achieved by an FMI alone; it is a
collective endeavour of the whole “ecosystem”.

The Cyber Guidance builds on previous studies conducted in this area by
both the CPMI and IOSCO.4 When finalised, the Cyber Guidance will not
establish additional standards for FMIs beyond those already set out in the
Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (PFMI). Instead, the
document is intended to be supplemental to the PFMI, primarily in the
context of governance (Principle 2), the framework for the comprehensive
management of risks (Principle 3), settlement finality (Principle 8),
operational risk (Principle 17) and FMI links (Principle 20).

The proposed Cyber Guidance sets out the preparations and measures that
FMIs should undertake to enhance their cyber resilience capabilities with
the aim of limiting the escalating risks that cyber threats pose to
individual FMIs and thereby to financial stability. It also provides
authorities with a set of internationally agreed guidelines to support
consistent and effective oversight and supervision of FMIs in the area of
cyber risk.

The Cyber Guidance is primarily intended to create meaningful shifts in the
FMI industry towards greater cyber resilience. In this regard, Mr Benoît
Cœuré, Chairman of the CPMI, stated: “This is an important report because
cyber attacks in the financial sector have the potential to create
widespread financial instability. Nobody should assume they will be able to
prevent cyber attacks in all circumstances. Therefore, the Cyber Guidance
addresses the need for an FMI to resume its operations quickly and safely
after an attack has occurred. This is not an easy task and may require
innovative thinking that goes beyond the traditional approaches to
operational resilience.”

Mr Greg Medcraft, Chairman of IOSCO, added: “The proposed Cyber Guidance is
the culmination of extensive collaboration between IOSCO and the CPMI. It
reflects an urgency to address the increasing risks that cyber threats pose
to FMIs and financial stability, as well as the need for a coordinated
approach. At the FMI level too, cyber resilience cannot be achieved by
individual institutions alone in our highly interconnected financial
sector. The broader ‘ecosystem’ needs to work in unison. The Guidance calls
upon the ecosystem to do just that. We hope to collaborate with all
stakeholders to meaningfully enhance the cyber resilience of our financial
system as we refine these proposals and later implement them.”

The consultative report is available on the websites of the Bank for
International Settlements (www.bis.org) and IOSCO (www.iosco.org).

*Notes*

1.             The CPMI promotes the safety and efficiency of payment,
clearing, settlement and related arrangements, thereby supporting financial
stability and the wider economy. The CPMI monitors and analyses
developments in these arrangements, both within and across jurisdictions.
It also serves as a forum for central bank cooperation in related
oversight, policy and operational matters, including the provision of
central bank services. The CPMI is a global standard setter in this area.
The CPMI secretariat is hosted by the BIS. More information about the CPMI,
and all its publications, can be found on the BIS website.

2.             IOSCO is an international policy forum for securities
regulators. Its objective is to review major regulatory issues related to
international securities and futures transactions and to coordinate
practical responses to these concerns.

3.             The Cyber Guidance was prepared for the CPMI and IOSCO by a
working group comprising representatives from CPMI central banks and IOSCO
securities commissions. The working group is co-chaired by Coen Voormeulen
(Director, Cash and Payments Division, Netherlands Bank) and Hern Shin Ho
(Executive Director, Specialist Risk Department, Monetary Authority of
Singapore).
