This first-in-the-nation piece of legislation aims at protecting consumer data and financial systems from cyber-attacks of terrorist organizations and other criminal enterprises.
The Regulation requires banks, insurance companies, and other financial services institutions to maintain a cybersecurity program designed to protect consumers and New York State’s financial services industry.
