RBI Cyber Security Framework for Urban Cooperative Banks

The rise of digital banking brings immense opportunity—but it also exposes Urban Cooperative Banks (UCBs) to sophisticated cyber threats. To safeguard banking operations and customer trust, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) introduced the Cyber Security Framework for UCBs through circulars RBI/2018-19/63 and RBI/2019-20/129. Cybertech Infosolution helps UCBs implement, strengthen, and comply with this framework, ensuring resilient, secure, and uninterrupted financial operations.

What is RBI Cyber Security Framework for Urban Cooperative Banks?

The RBI Cyber Security Framework for UCBs is a structured set of cybersecurity guidelines designed to help Urban Cooperative Banks detect, prevent, and respond to cyber risks. It addresses the unique challenges UCBs face—including legacy systems, limited IT resources, and increasing digital exposure. The framework outlines essential controls, governance practices, incident response expectations, and preventive measures to ensure the security, confidentiality, and reliability of banking systems.
