BIS Releases Cyber Resilience Toolkit for Financial Market Infrastructures

On September 8, 2026, the BIS Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) and IOSCO published a Cyber Resilience Toolkit aimed at enhancing the cyber resilience of financial market infrastructures (FMIs). This toolkit is designed to support FMIs in implementing operational resilience components of the CPMI-IOSCO Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures. It includes voluntary, non-binding tools and practical considerations across various topics relevant to cyber resilience. Additionally, a discussion paper was released that examines the risks associated with FMIs' reliance on third-party service providers. Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on both documents by December 1, 2026. The toolkit complements earlier guidance from 2016 and addresses challenges related to third-party services that FMIs depend on for critical operations.

Key Points: • BIS and IOSCO published a Cyber Resilience Toolkit for FMIs on September 8, 2026. • The toolkit aims to enhance cyber resilience frameworks and operational resilience for FMIs. • Stakeholder feedback on the toolkit and discussion paper is requested by December 1, 2026.
