The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has released its long-awaited Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (Assessment) to help financial institutions identify the inherent risks faced by a company and determine the level of maturity of a company’s cybersecurity preparedness. Although use of the Assessment is optional, the FFIEC believes the tool can “help management and directors of financial institutions understand supervisory expectations, increase awareness of cybersecurity risks, and assess and mitigate the risks facing their institutions.”
This webinar will explore how financial institutions can utilize this tool to guide company decisions about reducing inherent risk and developing strategies to improve the overall level of cybersecurity maturity and preparedness.
Topics
- The inherent risks relating to cyber threats that the FFIEC has identified and how to use their risk rating scale
- The five control “domains” that the FFIEC has identified and how to use their maturity level scale
- Engaging an executive management team in reviewing the assessment results and determining whether the maturity of a company’s controls is appropriate relative to the identified inherent risks
