Meet Reserve Bank of India Guidelines with BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management

RBI Guidelines for Cyber Security Framework & Endpoint Security

With the rising number of cyber incidents in the financial industry, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released some new recommendations in terms of endpoint security. In a nutshell, here is what is stated:

• Implement centralized policies through Active Directory or Endpoint management systems to whitelist/blacklist/restrict removable media use.

• Implement whitelisting of internet websites and systems.

• Following the principle of least privileges and separation of duties.

• Put in place mechanism to detect and remedy any unusual activities in systems, servers, network devices and endpoints.

• Build a robust defense against the installation, spread, and execution of malicious code at multiple points in the enterprise.

• Ensure that software/application development practices adopt principle defense-in-depth to provide layered security mechanism.

• Educate employees to strictly avoid clicking any links received via email (to prevent phishing attacks).

• Subscribe to Anti-phishing/anti-rogue application services from external service providers for identifying and taking down phishing websites/rogue applications.

5-Step Guide to Endpoint Security

To help you comply with these guidelines and avoid penalties such as imposed to Standard Chartered Bank in October 2021, we have developed a new guide to endpoint security. Learn how to:

• Remove admin rights and implement least privilege, as well as use passwordless administration to elevate the task, not the user (EPM).
• Use pragmatic application control and reputation to lower risk and service desk requests (EPM).
• Implement a 3rd party endpoint detection and response solution for detection of critical cyber threats.
• Layer in other endpoint security tools to fit your security strategy.
