This item outlines key information surrounding the Frontier AI Information Sharing Forum (FAISF). This is an initiative aiming to bring together financial authorities and systemically important UK financial institutions and FMIs to share their experiences on the use of frontier AI for cyber defence.

This month’s Spotlight focuses on the Cross Market Business Continuity Group (CMBCG). The full feature covers the CMBCG’s role, where it sits within the SRF, when it is stood up, and how it supports coordinated sector wide response during instability.

This month’s Spotlight focusses on the Financial Sector Cyber Collaboration Centre (FSCCC). The full feature covers the FSCCC role, where it sits within the SRF, when it is stood up, and how it supports coordinated sector wide response during instability.

This feature explores the Incident Communications Group (ICG) role in supporting coordinated, sector-wide communication during periods of disruption, where it sits within the SRF, when it is convened, and how it helps ensure a consistent and effective flow of information across firms and authorities.

CMORG’s AI Taskforce has published Firm Guidance for Frontier AI in response to the development of advanced AI capabilities that will materially increase the speed, scale and sophistication of cyber threats, compressing timelines for vulnerability discovery, exploitation and remediation.

CMORG is introducing a monthly Spotlight series on the Sector Response Groups and FMI Crisis Committees that sit within the Sector Response Framework (SRF). These Spotlights are designed to bring greater visibility to how the sector coordinates during periods of disruption, clearly setting out the role of each group, how it operates in practice, and why it matters for firms and the wider ecosystem.

This is the first in a monthly Spotlight series focusing on the UK Finance Business and Operational Continuity Committee (BOCC). The full feature covers the BOCC’s role, where it sits within the SRF, when it is stood up, and how it supports coordinated sector wide response during instability.

Following on from the update on 22 April, the Cross Market Operational Resilience Group (CMORG) has arranged a webinar on Frontier AI Risk Mitigation, to take place on 14 May 2026 at 10-11:30am (UK/BST). This webinar will explore industry preparedness and key considerations for firms in managing Frontier AI risk.

We expect there to be high demand for this event and encourage early registration due to limited capacity. Please note, if we are unable to allocate you a place, and your organisation is a UK regulated financial services firm, a recording will be made available after the webinar.

In this blog, Workstream Lead David Boswell offers additional insight into CMORG’s newly published paper on firm cyber recovery capabilities, which offers principles-based guidance to support recovery from severe cyber incidents, including extreme scenarios that may threaten a firm’s ongoing viability.
