- Last fall, the SEC strengthened its cybersecurity guidelines to require public companies to swiftly detail cybersecurity incidents and to address cybersecurity at the board level. For good reason—since at least the advent of ATMs, consumers have relied upon the electronic security of institutions that hold their money, and ever-newer forms of cybersecurity breaches and scams have turned people’s financial lives upside down.That’s why Forbes is publishing its first-ever list of America’s Most Cybersecure Banks. Created in partnership with the research company SecurityScorecard, this list ranks the top 50 U.S.-based banks whose website security and cybersecurity infrastructure make them best-in-class. Within a final top 10 that includes familiar names such as PNC and Goldman Sachs, the No. 1 finisher was Flushing Bank, a regional institution serving New York City.All qualifying banks were considered equally, regardless of whether they were customers of SecurityScorecard. And as with all Forbes lists, companies do not pay any fee to be considered. The full list appears below.
