On January 13, 2017, the Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC
extended the comment period on an advance notice of proposed
rulemaking on enhanced cyber risk management standards. The

proposal addressed five categories of cyber standards: cyber risk
governance; cyber risk management; internal dependency management;
external dependency management; and incident response, cyber
resilience and situational awareness. In its notice announcing the
