Lew and Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco cohosted a meeting with financial services executives, financial regulators, and Administration officials to discuss cybersecurity and the financial stability implications of a significant cyber incident. Meeting participants noted the importance of coordinating potential response activities to a significant cyber incident, maintaining resilience in the sector’s core functionality, and ensuring the trust and confidence in individual firms and the sector as a whole during operational stress. Over the past two years, more than a dozen public-private tabletop exercises have helped both the government and financial sector firms to identify opportunities to enhance the financial sector’s cyber resilience and to begin taking concrete steps in response to those lessons. The group discussed procedures for coordinating cybersecurity incident response efforts among financial sector companies, executive branch agencies, and financial regulators, consistent with Presidential Policy Directive 41, which was announced in July and governs the Federal government’s response to significant cyber incidents. Administration officials reaffirmed their commitment to strong cybersecurity measures and meeting the private sector’s needs in preparing for, responding to and recovering from cyber incidents. Given that the cybersecurity of the financial system goes beyond sovereign borders, the group also discussed the G7 finance ministers and central bank governors’ endorsement last week of Fundamental Elements of Cybersecurity for the Financial Sector, a concise set of necessary features for enhanced cybersecurity for public and private entities in the financial sector. Finally, leaders from the government, financial regulators, and private sector reiterated their commitment to improving cybersecurity in the financial sector through enhanced public-private collaboration at the most senior levels and carrying this work through the Presidential transition. The Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to partnering the financial sector with the government, detailed the establishment of a CEO cybersecurity council to regularly meet with government counterparts.
