Mumbai, August 18: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has launched two new portals aimed at strengthening cybersecurity, improving cyber-incident reporting and facilitating information sharing across the securities market ecosystem.
The SEBI Incident Reporting Portal is designed to make reporting of cyber incidents more structured, timely and actionable. It also aligns incident reporting with the Common Information Framework for Incidents (CIFI), helping bring greater uniformity to reporting and facilitating coordination, including in cross-border incidents.
The Cyber Suraksha Portal will serve as a central platform for sharing cybersecurity knowledge, vulnerability alerts, policy measures and insights from incidents.
SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey, speaking at the regulator’s five-day Cyber Defence Symposium in Mumbai, called for a shift from periodic cybersecurity compliance to continuous, risk-driven cyber resilience.
The symposium, being held from August 17-21, brings together participants from India and 15 IOSCO jurisdictions for cybersecurity exercises, tabletop simulations and cyber-range activities. Pandey stressed that financial institutions must focus not only on preventing attacks but also on quickly detecting, containing and recovering from them.
