FFIEC Sunsets The Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT)
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) retired its Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) on August 31, 2025. This self-assessment resource, used by financial institutions to gauge cybersecurity risk and readiness, won’t be updated going forward. The FFIEC launched CAT in 2015 to help organizations measure their exposure to risk and assess their cyber preparedness.
