At the end of 2020, the Council of Financial Regulators (CFR) publicly released a pilot framework for testing the level of cyber resilience within the Australian financial services industry. This framework, known as Cyber Operational Resilience Intelligence-led Exercises (or, “CORIE”), is designed to help test and demonstrate a financial institutions’ level of cyber resilience by mimicking the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) of real-life adversaries and evaluating the ability of an organisation to detect, respond and recover from such attacks.
While this particular scheme is new to Australia, similar schemes have been in operation in overseas jurisdictions for over half a decade.
During this PD session, two cyber security specialists join us to discuss:
- The key elements of the CORIE pilot framework.
- Learnings and insights from experience delivering over 25 regulated Threat Intelligence-led Red Teaming exercises - across multiple sectors - under parallel frameworks across the UK, Europe and Asia.
- Considerations for financial and non-financial industry organisations.
