The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa has established a Joint Standard on Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience, set to commence in June 2025.
The standard aims to mitigate the risks posed by cyber threats targeting the financial sector and requires institutions such as banks, insurers, and retirement funds to meet stringent cybersecurity requirements.
IT solutions provider Troye, in collaboration with Arctic Wolf, offers tailored cybersecurity solutions to help institutions comply with the FSCA standards and enhance their overall cyber resilience.
The compliance requirements include the development of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, implementation of identity and access management protocols, regular testing of cyber resilience, and incident response capabilities.
