Complying with the 23 NYCRR 500 Cybersecurity Regulations
The rise of cyberthreats across industries has challenged enterprises to meet dynamic compliance requirements. They tend to exploit network vulnerabilities to gain access to sensitive data.
The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) has witnessed the constant threats to financial institutions, their systems, and information. This can lead to significant losses to entities regulated by the NYDFS. It has become imperative for organizations to develop a cybersecurity program covering the minimum regulatory standards to match the relevant risks and keep up with the technological advances. A regulated entity’s cybersecurity program must ensure the institution’s safety and its customers.
Seclore and 23 NYCRR 500
On March 1, 2017, the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) developed regulations to establish a cybersecurity program to promote the protection of sensitive data belonging to both the regulated entities and the customers. The 23 NYCRR 500 is part 500 of the overall NYDFS body of regulation.
The 23 NYCRR 500 aims to implement a cybersecurity framework to protect the sensitive data handled by various NYDFS-regulated financial entities.
