Protecting Financial Stability

  • Home

To enhance the cyber resilience of financial institutions, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has partnered with the International Monetary Fund, the SWIFT Institute—the original sponsor of this project, the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC), Standard Chartered, the Cyber Readiness Institute, and the Global Cyber Alliance to develop this capacity-building tool box. This website offers a series of action-oriented, easy-to-use one-page guides; complementary checklists; and a comprehensive, supplementary report detailing how financial institutions, particularly small- and mid-sized organizations as well as those that are less cyber mature, can enhance their own security as well as that of their customers and third parties. The guides and checklists are available in multiple languages (Arabic, Dutch, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.)

We actively encourage the promotion and distribution of the free material and welcome any feedback, including suggestions for potential additional partners or requests for other translations.
