TITLE: South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service Launches Integrated Cybersecurity Monitoring System BODY: On February 27, 2026, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) of South Korea commenced full operations of its integrated financial cybersecurity monitoring system, known as FIRST (Financial-IT Incident Response Surveillance control-Tower). The system was developed to enable rapid and efficient responses to cyber threats that could disrupt consumers' access to financial services. The FIRST system functions as a centralised control tower for financial computing crisis response and surveillance. It systematically manages security threat information collected on a continuous basis through a database, enabling the FSS to transmit critical information to financial institutions alongside necessary action items through a real-time, bidirectional communication channel. Financial institutions provide feedback on remedial measures taken, and the system incorporates emergency contact functionality for use during crisis situations. The integrated system manages the entire process from cyber threat information collection through information sharing, assessment of impact on financial institutions, and monitoring of response measures. This systematic approach is expected to strengthen the FSS's capacity to respond to security threats. The FSS will support smooth operation of the system through a briefing session held on February 27, 2026, and intends to advance its transition toward a preventive supervisory framework by enhancing security threat monitoring and timely response capabilities through the platform. The FSS Digital Finance Bureau and Information Strategy Bureau oversee the system's implementation, with further details available in accompanying documentation.
