The Financial Security Institute (FSI) has revised its vulnerability analysis and evaluation criteria, creating a new category for virtual assets.

The Financial Security Institute (FSI) announced on the 31st that it will revise its vulnerability analysis and evaluation standards for 2026, reflecting the rapid changes in the IT environment, including the proliferation of cloud and digital asset-related services. New evaluation criteria for virtual asset exchanges have been established to reflect the influx of virtual assets into the institutional system and market expansion. In addition to the "Virtual Asset Compliance" category, which aims to proactively manage risks such as virtual asset regulations, new categories have been established for "Blockchain," "Wallet," and "Smart Contracts," which will be applied to security assessments of virtual asset operation, management, and utilization.
