RRB/RCB - Security Incident Tracking Platform - Reporting thereon
RBI/2014-15/112 July 2, 2014 The Chairmen/Chief Executive Officers, Dear Sir/Madam, Security Incident Tracking Platform- Reporting thereon Information on Security, particularly security incidents, external attacks, internal compromises etc. is unique to each bank. Sharing of such information/ incidents/experiences would greatly benefit Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) / State and Central Co-operative Banks (StCBs/CCBs) in taking appropriate preventive/corrective measures. As of now, information sharing among RRBs/StCBs/CCBs on these issues is not very prevalent. 2. The National Security Council (NSC) has requested IDRBT to set up necessary facilities to enable sharing of information among banks and also dissemination of information on emerging security threats. Towards this end, IDRBT has developed a Security Incident Tracking Platform where banks would be able to report security incidents in an anonymous manner; thus keeping the information reported by the banks confidential. The platform will be hosted on the INFINET and the access provided only to Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) of respective banks. IDRBT is simultaneously making arrangements to gather global threat intelligence from various sources in coordination with CERT-In. 3. CISOs of RRBs/StCBs/CCBs are advised to make use of the platform developed by IDRBT by reporting all Information Security related incidents in the above platform. This would not only enable building a repository of security incidents related information for the banking Industry but also help in fine-tuning policies relating to information security from time to time. 4. Please acknowledge the receipt of this circular to our Regional Office. Yours faithfully, (A.Udgata) |
