期货和衍生品行业监管动态

FIA today released a report that contains lessons learned from a recent cyber

incident and sets out six recommendations for improving the derivatives industry's

ability to withstand future attacks.

The recommendations are:

1. Create an “Industry Resilience Committee” to encourage the development of

secure communication channels with respect to all forms of operational

resilience, including but not limited to cyber resilience.

2. Integrate the exchange-traded and cleared derivatives industry with sector-

wide groups that specialize in cybersecurity and operational resilience across

the financial services sector.

3. Review and affirm policies and procedures for reconnection to impacted

parties during and after a cyber incident.

4. Establish procedures for sharing critical data and other information with
counterparties and clients in a timely manner during a cyber incident.

5. Identify ways to make the assessment of risks to operational resilience more

efficient, for example by standardizing the questionnaires used in the

assessment process.

6. Participate in exercises that test preparedness for cyberattacks.

“In this industry, many market participants rely on third party service providers

for certain essential functions," said Walt Lukken, President and Chief Executive

Officer, FIA. "When one of these service providers is disrupted by a cyberattack, the

effects can ripple throughout the industry. Today's report is intended to shore up our

readiness for a future cyber-attack and strengthen the ability of firms to recover from

such an incident.”
