International information security accreditation and certification body CREST has published a new guide to fostering financial sector cyber resilience in developing countries. The nonprofit’s Resilience in Developing Countries paper forms part of its work in encouraging greater cyber readiness and resilience in emerging nations to help protect key industries from cyberattacks.
The guide outlines that, while increased financial inclusion is a global goal, the less privileged remain highly susceptible to cyberthreats. It also describes the need for appropriate, multi-party cyber resilience testing to ensure better cyber safety in developing nations, along with advice for governing authorities.
