FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Euro zone banks face an increased risk of cyber attacks, particularly in relation to rising geopolitical tensions, European Central Bank supervisor Andrea Enria said on Thursday.
“We are asking (banks) to strengthen their cyber regime measures and look at a potential increase in attacks and the danger of these attacks going forward,” Enria told a news conference.
“We’ll also flag the attention of banks in relation to the potential worsening of global tensions that could indeed trigger more attacks,” Enria said.
