The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection (OCCIP) has announced an initiative designed to strengthen cybersecurity within the digital asset industry.
The scheme is set to provide timely and actionable cybersecurity information to eligible US digital asset firms and other industry organisations, aiming to help them better identify, prevent, and respond to cyber threats.
The initiative follows recommendations from the US President’s Working Group on Digital Assets Markets report, which was designed to help “support the responsible growth and use of digital assets, blockchain technology, and related technologies across all sectors of the economy”.
Luke Pettit, assistant secretary for financial institutions, comments: “Digital asset firms are an increasingly important part of the US financial sector, and their resilience is critical to the health of the broader system.
“By extending access to the same high-quality cybersecurity information used by traditional financial institutions, Treasury is helping promote a more secure and responsible digital asset ecosystem.”
Counsellor to the Secretary for Digital Assets, Tyler Williams, says: “As digital assets become more integrated into the financial system, access to timely and actionable cyber threat information is essential to protecting consumers and safeguarding the stability of US financial markets.”
Cory Wilson, deputy assistant secretary for cybersecurity, adds: “This initiative expands access to actionable threat information that helps firms strengthen defences, reduce risk, and respond more effectively to incidents.”
According to the OCCIP, eligible US digital asset firms and industry organisations will be able to receive the same actionable cybersecurity information shared with traditional US financial institutions, subject to its criteria.
