  "account": "Regional rural banks (RRBs) are planning to set up cybersecurity operations centres (CSOCs) to bolster their defenses against cyber threats. These centres will focus on threat intelligence, log management, security information and event management (SIEM), vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT), incident detection and response, as well as automated reporting and escalation. This is part of the reform agenda for 28 regional lenders, according to bank executives. With the rise of AI models posing a new threat to the banking system, RRBs must be adequately prepared, one executive emphasized. The Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC) discussed measures to enhance cyber security preparedness for RRBs. Under the Utkarsh reform agenda, RRBs will also implement enterprise data warehouse (EDW) and data lake solutions for standardized data reporting, analytics, visualisation, business intelligence, and performance management.",
