DNB requires IT action for continued email communication

De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) has initiated a process requiring technical adjustments from certain supervised institutions to ensure uninterrupted email communication.

Institutions identified as needing to take action will receive a specific email during the week of June 22. This communication will be sent to their institution's general email address or, if available, directly to the designated contact person.

The sender address for this crucial notification will be projectemailwijziging@dnb.nl, a change from the previous microsoft365@dnb.nl.

Upon receipt, it is imperative that institutions promptly forward this email to their internal IT department.

This step is critical to enable the necessary technical measures to be implemented, thereby safeguarding continuous and secure digital correspondence with DNB on supervisory matters.

Failure to act could potentially disrupt essential communication channels.

These technical adjustments are a proactive measure by DNB to maintain secure and uninterrupted digital communication with supervised institutions.

Effective email correspondence is crucial for DNB's supervisory mandate, enabling the exchange of vital information and regulatory updates.

This initiative aligns with a broader trend among central banks to fortify IT infrastructure against evolving cyber threats and technological advancements.

Institutions are required to involve their IT departments to implement necessary changes, such as updating email security configurations.

This collaborative effort is essential to prevent communication disruptions that could affect supervisory processes or institutions' compliance with regulatory requirements.
