RBI Increases Cybersecurity Oversight of Banks Amid Rising AI-Driven Attacks
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has intensified scrutiny of banks amid a rise in cyberattacks, including AI-driven threats targeting financial infrastructure. The RBI has urged banks to assess vulnerabilities in application programming interfaces (APIs) connecting them to non-bank lenders and fintechs, emphasizing the need for stronger cybersecurity implementation. Recent incidents involve data leaks and unauthorized transfers, with smaller lenders and third-party vendors seen as more vulnerable. The RBI's actions align with global regulatory efforts to address emerging AI-related risks.
