Cyberattacks: What RBI advised to banks
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued an advisory to banks, payment system operators, and other entities under its purview to treat their technology environments as compromised until forensically cleared following any exposure of credentials or confirmed unauthorised access. The advisory, issued on October 19, comes in the wake of the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) warning about the growing use of artificial intelligence agents to carry out cyberattacks.
The RBI advises financial entities to strengthen cybersecurity controls across their systems and those of third-party service providers, remove management and administrative interfaces from public internet access, enforce multi-factor authentication for administrative access, and restrict access to cloud and backend systems on a least-privilege basis.
