The Central Bank of Russia held the Eurasia 2025 international cross-border cyber drills, bringing together representatives of financial regulators and financial institutions from the Eurasian Economic Union and one observer country to test coordinated response to a simulated cyber incident at a bank. The on-site stage ran from 20 to 24 October 2025 at Innopolis University and used a scenario in which hackers exploited vulnerabilities in software products used by the bank. Participating teams were tasked with restoring the bank’s infrastructure and conducting an investigation to identify the attackers, with all collected information transferred to the Bank of Russia’s FinCERT. The Central Bank of Russia indicated it will continue cooperating with EAEU regulators and other interested countries to counter global cyber threats.
