The importance of cyber resilience in protecting our banking sector cannot be overstated: the current landscape poses a variety of cyber threats, from cybercrime to sophisticated state-sponsored attacks. The results of our recent stress test will help us strengthen the way supervised banks manage cyber risk, to set the stage for a resilient banking future.

Assessing how banks implement their digitalisation activities and manage the related risks has been one of the ECB’s supervisory priorities in recent years. We have now completed a key milestone for defining assessment criteria and in gathering sound practices. The Supervision Blog looks at this important step.

Materiality assessments are not just a “nice to have” – knowing your risks is a precondition for being able to address them. Most banks have now drawn up materiality assessments that are in line with our supervisory expectations. This is good news, but it is only the first step. A great deal more work lies ahead. By the end of this year, we expect all banks under our supervision to be fully aligned with all our supervisory expectations on the sound management of C&E risks.
