On Tuesday, November 28 Avi Gesser, Erez Liebermann and Stephanie Thomas of the Debevoise Data Strategy and Security group hosted a webcast that examined the final amendments to Cybersecurity Regulation, 23 NYCRR Part 500, announced by the NYDFS on November 1, 2023. They discussed what changes made it into the final version, and the implications that the final rules have for NYDFS-regulated entities. Important issues covered included:

  • The timing for implementation of the new rules;
  • The final definition of Class A companies and what is required of them;
  • The changes to the multi-factor authentication obligations;
  • The new business continuity and disaster recovery requirements;
  • The final audit and risk assessment procedures; and
  • The revised annual certification obligations and what now constitutes a violation of Part 500.
