Foresiet Combatting Anti-Phishing and Anti-Rogue Services: RBI Mandate for Banks

Learn how Foresiet is helping banks in India combat phishing websites through RBI's mandate for anti-phishing and anti-rogue services.

Understanding RBI's mandate for banks

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued circular RBI/2019-20/129, which provides guidance for banks in India to subscribe to anti-phishing and anti-rogue application services. This mandate aims to enhance the security of banks and protect customers from phishing attacks.

By subscribing to these services, banks are required to identify and take down phishing websites and rogue applications. This proactive approach helps in safeguarding the interests of the customers and maintaining the integrity of the banking system.

The RBI's mandate is a significant step towards combating cyber threats in the banking sector and ensuring a secure digital environment for customers.

The importance of identifying phishing websites

Phishing websites are designed to deceive users into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials, financial details, or personal data. These websites often mimic legitimate websites to trick unsuspecting users.

Identifying phishing websites is crucial to protect customers from falling victim to such scams. Banks play a vital role in detecting and taking down these websites to prevent financial losses and maintain customer trust.

By implementing effective anti-phishing measures, banks can proactively identify and block phishing websites, minimizing the risk of fraudulent activities and enhancing the security of online transactions.
