Financial cybersecurity could be held to a higher standard
As The Hill explained, many regulators in different agencies feel that financial institutions should
be held to higher standards for cybersecurity than other private sector industries, due mainly to
the sensitive nature of the information they deal with every day.

While specific security measures have yet to be mentioned, the recent emphasis on continuous
monitoring and automated threat removal among government agencies themselves could be a
clue as to where financial cybersecurity is going. These measures, among others, will provide a
layer of security that is otherwise missing in perimeter defense-dependent institutions that have
proven highly susceptible to attacks in the past.
