Achieving Greater Convergence in Cyber Incident Reporting

Financial authorities’ CIR requirements must align with clear and purposeful policy objectives.

For example, if the financial authorities’ intent is early warning, then financial institutions might only be required to notify the financial authority with high level incident information.
