Hot Take:

Well, well, looks like New York is stepping it up a notch in the cyber security world. Governor Hochul and the NYDFS are changing the game, and not just by making sure financial institutions have sturdier firewalls. They're setting up a whole system of checks and balances, from do-not-pass-go access controls to regular risk assessments. And don’t even get me started on the new ransomware reporting requirement! If you're a financial institution in the big apple, you've got some serious homework ahead of you before April 2024.
