New Delhi, 18 August (APAC Media): The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has launched the Incident Reporting Portal and Cyber Suraksha Portal to strengthen cybersecurity coordination across the securities market ecosystem.
The Incident Reporting Portal is designed to make the reporting of cybersecurity incidents more structured and timely, while aligning the process with the Financial Stability Board’s reporting format.Â
Meanwhile, the Cyber Suraksha Portal will serve as a central hub for sharing cybersecurity knowledge, vulnerability alerts, policy measures and insights from cyber incidents among market intermediaries.
Focus Shifts from Individual Security to Ecosystem Resilience
Addressing SEBI’s Cyber Defence Symposium, Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said the regulator’s approach must move beyond assessing whether individual organisations are secure and instead focus on the resilience of the broader financial ecosystem.
He warned that a cyber incident at one institution could spread through vendors, technology platforms, third parties and other connected entities. Pandey also called for vulnerability management to become a continuous, risk-driven process as software, cloud configurations, APIs and third-party dependencies evolve rapidly.
With artificial intelligence accelerating both cyberattacks and cyber defence, organisations must continuously identify, assess, prioritise, remediate and validate vulnerabilities.
Quantum Resilience Added to Cyber Strategy
SEBI is also preparing for emerging quantum computing threats. Pandey said quantum resilience is now a core pillar of SEBI’s cybersecurity strategy, with post-quantum cryptography requiring a structured migration programme rather than remaining a future research priority.
