In April of this year, the National Monetary Council (CMN) approved Resolution No. 4,658, which obliges all institutions operating in the financial market to have a cybersecurity plan. The measure came about as a result of the growth in attacks on financial institutions in recent years, which not only cause damage to companies, but also expose third-party data and information on strategic projects.
In order to comply with the new regulations, the cybersecurity plan must be structured around a series of strategies, which you can see below.
What is a cybersecurity plan?
This is a set of strategies used by companies to protect their IT and network infrastructure from digital attacks. This involves creating access control rules, monitoring resources, constantly updating software, contracting cloud processing and storage services and investing in security solutions.
How the CMN resolution affects financial institutions' digital security policies
Resolution No. 4,658 of the National Monetary Council affects the digital security policies of financial companies in various ways. The new regulation creates a series of mechanisms so that the company can act strategically to reduce risks and mitigate threats.
In addition, the new rules also affect the way IT services should be contracted. In this way, the company can reduce the chances of an investment becoming a hotspot for new attacks in the medium and long term.
How to structure a smart cybersecurity plan
The creation of a comprehensive cybersecurity plan must involve various sectors of the business. By working side by side with all the areas that make use of the business's IT infrastructure, managers can combat problems more effectively and, at the same time, guarantee the integrity of digital environments without compromising the performance of each team.
When structuring data security policies, the company must have its entire infrastructure and operational routines assessed. With this data, it is possible to identify the main risks and effectively resolve potential problems.
The company must therefore structure measures to mitigate risks and prevent problems.
Preventive security procedures can include defining access control rules, agile application routines for security updates and encouraging and training users so that they incorporate good practices into their daily lives. Likewise, investments should be structured so that the business only chooses truly secure solutions.
The corrective processes in the cybersecurity plan allow the company to resolve any problems quickly. For this to be possible, the business must have monitoring tools and routines for control, data recovery and damage reduction. This way, if something does happen, the damage will be as small as possible.
In short, a cybersecurity plan is crucial if financial institutions are to remain compliant with industry standards and thus guarantee their competitiveness. In addition, security problems will be less frequent and the IT sector will be able to maintain the integrity of services, even at times of high demand for internal resources.
