REMINDER: Cybersecurity Requirements Coming Nov. 1st

​There’s one last deadline coming up for insurance agencies and others subject to New York’s cybersecurity requirements for financial services companies regulation. By November 1st of this year, all businesses covered by the regulation must implement policies and procedures to create and maintain inventories of their computerized assets. We have created a Microsoft Excel workbook for members to download and use to meet this requirement.

Also, by November 1st, all covered entities must implement multi-factor authentication for all remote access to the agency’s computer network and third-party applications (such as agency management systems) that can be accessed from a mobile device and that contain non-public information.

We encourage all agencies to begin working on these requirements now, rather than waiting until Halloween. More information is available on our Cybersecurity page​.
