Abdul Rasheed also encouraged financial institutions to conduct crisis simulations to identify gaps and improve recovery plans.

He added that operational incident recovery, supported by business continuity plans (BCP) and communication strategies, is crucial to prevent minor disruptions from becoming larger crises.
