Japan's Financial Services Agency launched Delta Wall, a large-scale cross-industry cybersecurity exercise, on the 6th. A record 181 financial institutions are taking part, aiming to improve their response capabilities as the threat of cyberattacks grows with the emergence of cutting-edge AI models that are far better at finding system vulnerabilities. The exercise runs through the 22nd and, under a simulated cyberattack scenario, will review the full sequence of steps from initial response to investigation and analysis of the attack and recovery work. The agency also plans to share best practices with financial institutions not taking part, with the aim of strengthening security measures across the industry.
