REVISED NYDFS CYBERSECURITY REGULATION COULD BE IMMINENT

The Wall Street Journal has reported that amendments to Part 500, the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation, could by issued by the agency in the near future.  From the WSJ article:  “”Last week’s consent order, one of three multimillion-dollar cybersecurity settlements NYDFS has reached in recent months, comes as the agency prepares to propose regulatory updates that some cybersecurity experts expect within weeks….NYDFS’s pre-proposal amendments published in July appear more prescriptive, suggesting companies install additional security measures such as password vaults to protect privileged login credentials.”
