Cybersecurity and AI training for banks, fintechs and financial services
Financial services firms hold money and personal data, which makes them prime targets. Regulators expect strong controls, and fraudsters target staff and customers every day.
The threats financial services face
- Account takeover, SIM-swap and social engineering of customers and staff
- Insider fraud and collusion
- Business email compromise and fake payment instructions
- Ransomware and attacks on third-party providers
- Data breaches involving customer records
Regulatory expectations
Central banks and financial regulators across our markets, including the Central Bank of Nigeria, the South African Reserve Bank's Prudential Authority, the Central Bank of Kenya and the Bank of Ghana, publish cybersecurity frameworks and directives. They expect governance, risk management, incident response and staff awareness. Check the framework that applies to your institution.
What training should cover
- Fraud typologies relevant to your products and channels
- Verification and escalation rules for payments and account changes
- Protecting customer data under your country's data protection law
- Recognising social engineering against staff and customers
- Safe, approved use of AI in operations and customer service
