Finance ministers from major economies have reached a consensus to conduct simulated cyber attack exercises, known as tabletop drills, to bolster defenses against potential digital threats targeting financial systems. The initiative comes as cyber risks to critical infrastructure—particularly in banking and payment networks—continue to escalate globally. These drills will allow officials to test response protocols and coordination among governments, financial institutions, and cybersecurity agencies before real-world incidents occur. The move reflects growing concerns over the increasing sophistication and frequency of cyber intrusions aimed at disrupting economic stability.
