The Federal Reserve is leading other agencies in crafting the protections, which would be minimum standards, said the people who asked not to be named because work on the measures isn’t public. The effort stems partly from a concern that as digital breaches become more frequent and aggressive, an attack could cripple the entire financial system.
The Fed is working with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., said the people. Further details on the agencies’ plans couldn’t be determined, so it’s not clear whether costly efforts that lenders have already undertaken would put them in compliance with what regulators propose.
