Yes. In addition to being a regulator expectation, banks do need a tested “what if” plan in place. What if the cyber-attack circumvents the providers’ security? What if an internal employee opens an infected email and infects the bank’s network? What if hackers gain access and attempt to transfer funds using your own payments platform? There are a lot of “what ifs” we need to be prepared for.
