Abstract

The present work defines the development of a cyber threat intelligence (CTI) apparatus in a central bank. Such a system aims at promoting a preventive posture against constantly evolving threats such as cybercrime, cyber espionage, hacktivism, cyberterrorism and state-sponsored APTs. Central banks are targeted by a gamut of threat actors. Cyber-attacks against financial institutions are on the rise: Those directed against strategic data, infrastructures and platforms of a central bank, could have momentous repercussions on the vital ganglia of the financial system as a whole. CTI operates on a three-level scale: Tactical/technical, operational and strategic. As to the latter, geopolitical and context analysis is key. The proposed CTI apparatus - designed to cope with multifarious cyber threats - aims at spurring systemic prevention and resilient reaction.
