The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced new cybersecurity guidelines, signaling a critical step towards safeguarding the financial sector from cyber threats. These guidelines aim to enhance the resilience of market intermediaries and bolster the protection of investor data. They require entities under SEBI’s jurisdiction to adopt robust cybersecurity measures, conduct regular audits, and establish a cybersecurity operations center (CSOC). This proactive approach underscores the growing importance of cybersecurity in the financial industry and reinforces India’s commitment to strengthening its digital infrastructure. Compliance with these guidelines is expected to better protect investors and promote trust in the Indian financial markets.
