As the banking ecosystem faces increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, the strategy aims to enhance cyber defenses of the regulated entities through a holistic, forward-looking and collaborative approach.<\/p>\n

It focuses on five key priorities: strengthening the ability of banks to withstand cyber incidents, improving governance and accountability for cybersecurity, encouraging cooperation and informationsharing across the financial sector, building skilled cyber talent, and continuously updating security practices to keep pace with new risks.<\/p>\n

The SBP will closely monitor both global and domestic cyber developments and will update the strategy as needed to address emerging threats.
