CERES Forum Marks One-Year Anniversary With 10th Country Addition

SINGAPORE -�Media OutReach - July 10,
2019 - The CERES (CEntral
banks, REgulators and Supervisory Entities) Forum,
established through the Financial Services
Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC), an industry
consortium dedicated to reducing cyber-risk in the global financial system,
announced today that it has grown its membership to 11 members in 10 countries from
Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America.

Established a year ago as a forum
for central banks, regulators and supervisors, the CERES Forum plays a critical
role in facilitating multi-lateral information sharing. This enables the
financial authorities to rapidly detect, assess and respond to cyber threats in
the financial sector.

“Having a
trusted peer-to-peer network to share critical information related to malicious
cyber-activity is key to effectively guarding against an ever-growing threat
landscape,” said FS-ISAC CEO, Steve Silberstein. “We will continue to work with
the financial authorities to support this initiative and drive engagement with
oversight institutions, as we work together to keep the members apprised of
current threats, trends, best practices and solutions.”
