On March 1, 2017, the new Cybersecurity Regulation to Protect Consumers and Financial Institutions proposed by Governor Andrew Cuomo took effect . This first-in-the-nation piece of legislation aims at protecting consumer data and financial systems from cyber-attacks of terrorist organizations and other criminal enterprises.

The Regulation requires banks, insurance companies, and other financial services institutions to maintain a cybersecurity program designed to protect consumers and New York State’s financial services industry.
