Riksbank and Finansinspektionen urge financial sector to adopt NCSC cybersecurity and AI recommendations
The Riksbank and Finansinspektionen have urged Swedish financial actors to adopt the National Cyber Security Center's new cybersecurity and AI recommendations to strengthen the sector's resilience against AI-supported cyberattacks. This directive follows an assessment that the rapid development of advanced AI models has increased cyberattack risks by making them easier and faster to execute, while also offering defensive benefits. Riksbank official Olof Sandstedt emphasized that managing AI-related opportunities and threats requires prioritizing cybersecurity as both a technical challenge and a leadership responsibility across all financial sector actors.
