SEBI Tightens Cybersecurity Rules: New Compliance Categories for Regulated Entities

SEBI introduced stricter cybersecurity norms, categorizing regulated entities based on risk exposure and mandating tailored safeguards. High-risk entities must implement advanced protections like behavioral analytics and conduct frequent audits. The framework emphasizes real-time incident reporting and requires board-level oversight of cybersecurity. These measures respond to growing digital threats in financial markets while allowing proportionate compliance based on an entity's risk profile.
