FRANKFURT, March 9 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank plans to test the cyber resilience of the euro zone's top banks after a sharp rise in cyberattacks, including after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, ECB supervisory chief Andrea Enria told a Lithuanian newspaper.
"Next year we are launching a thematic stress test on cyber resilience, which will try to test how banks are able to respond to and recover from a successful cyberattack," Enria told Verslo žinios.
"There has been a significant increase in cyberattacks," Enria said.
But banks can be cut off from counterparties quickly, including through sanctions, leaving them vulnerable.
Results of the test are due around the middle of 2024, Enria said.
