Objective

As the digital transformation accelerates, cyber security has become a central element of resilience and good governance in central banks. New technologies – including cloud computing, digital currencies, and interconnected payment systems – bring opportunities for innovation but also introduce significant risks related to resilience, data protection, business continuity, and financial stability.

This expert panel provides a platform for national central banks to share their experience of strategic and operational aspects of cyber security. The programme will focus on how governance, risk management, and long-term strategy can help strengthen cyber resilience. Participants will discuss best practices, case studies, and challenges in aligning cyber security with central bank responsibilities, digital transformation objectives, and supervisory frameworks.

Participants are expected to actively contribute during this panel, for example by presenting and discussing challenges, experiences, and national approaches to cyber security.
