Banca d’Italia ha pubblicato un approfondimento sulla Cyber resilience per la continuità di servizio del sistema finanziario.
In particolare, evidenzia Banca d’Italia, le minacce da fronteggiare sono sempre più variegate e ibride: esse includono eventi cyber e naturali, incendi, emergenze sanitarie, tensioni geopolitiche, attentati e altri fenomeni.
Nel comparto finanziario la necessità di intervenire tempestivamente per prevenire e contenere minacce di natura cyber è elevata, date le interconnessioni che lo caratterizzano: un evento su una singola infrastruttura, se non prontamente affrontato, può rapidamente propagarsi all’intero sistema, con impatti da reazione a catena. La diffusione di tecnologie digitali ha ampliato peraltro la superficie dei sistemi esposti a eventi cyber.
In questo contesto, la cyber resilience diviene strumento centrale per prevenire e gestire eventi che possono intaccare la continuità di servizio del sistema finanziario.
Il presente lavoro dopo avere descritto i principali elementi di contesto (capitoli 1, 2 e 3), espone le maggiori iniziative istituzionali avviate a livello nazionale (capitolo 4) e internazionale (capitolo 5) per rafforzare la cyber resilience nel sistema finanziario, comprese misure ad hoc adottate nel tempo dalla Banca d’Italia. Vengono poi presentati profili a carattere evolutivo (capitoli 6 e 7).

In particular, FATF-GAFI points out, countries under increased monitoring are actively working to address deficiencies in their regimes to counter money laundering and terrorist financing.
When the FATF-GAFI places a jurisdiction under increased monitoring, it means the country has committed to resolve swiftly the identified strategic deficiencies within agreed timeframes and is subject to increased monitoring. This list is often externally referred to as the “grey list”.
FATF-GAFI calls on these jurisdictions to complete their action plans expeditiously and within the agreed timeframes.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has published aWorking Paper on the use of environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores in investment strategies.
In particular, BIS points out, environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores are becoming an increasingly important tool for asset managers to design and implement ESG investment strategies.
In particular, BIS points out, environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores are becoming an increasingly important tool for asset managers to design and implement ESG investment strategies.
However, there are drawbacks in using headline ESG scores that limit their usefulness. ESG scores amalgamate a broad range of fundamentally different factors, which creates ambiguity. Weak scores in one pillar can offset strong scores in another pillar.
On this point, BIS proposes an investment strategy based on deconstructing ESG scores. The strategy focuses on specific underlying ESG categories such as emissions reduction and human rights. To implement our investment strategy, we exclude firms with the lowest scores in certain ESG categories of interest and implement a best-in-class investment strategy.
