New York State Department Of Financial Services Lacewell Announces DFS Issues Cybersecurity Insurance Risk Framework - First Regulator In The Nation To Issue Specific Guidance For Property/Casualty Insurers Writing Cyber Insurance - Department Joins Law Enforcement Authorities Recommending Against Ransom Payments Date
04/02/2021
Superintendent Linda A. Lacewell today announced the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) issued a new Cyber Insurance Risk Framework. The Framework outlines industry best practices for New York-regulated property/casualty insurers that write cyber insurance to effectively manage their cyber insurance risk. The Framework is the first guidance by a U.S. regulator on cyber insurance.
New York’s banking regulator has demanded $300 million from Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ as part of a potential agreement over sanctions-related violations, according to people familiar with the matter.
The demand comes on top of a $250 million settlement Japan’s largest bank negotiated with the regulator last year for deleting information from $100 billion in wire transfers that authorities could have used to police transactions with Myanmar, Iran, Sudan and other entities subject to US sanctions.
The new penalty stems from the discovery after the June 2013 settlement that the bank had submitted a report that allegedly whitewashed a scheme to falsify transactions for entities subject to the sanctions.
