Basel IV refers to a set of international banking regulations developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. These rules aim to strengthen banks’ capital requirements, risk management, and disclosure standards. Basel IV builds on previous Basel accords, introducing stricter definitions of risk-weighted assets, revised leverage ratios, and enhanced reporting obligations. Its primary goal is to improve the resilience of the global banking system, reduce systemic risk, and protect against financial crises. While not directly focused on cybersecurity, Basel IV’s emphasis on risk management and transparency has implications for how banks address cyber risks as part of their overall operational risk framework.
