-



Would you like to learn smart tips to secure your Bank’s IT Assets? If yes, go ahead and attend IDBRT’s workshop on “Cyber Defence for Banks”.

IT Assets include Hardware as well as software. In short, all modern communication devices necessary to make banking safe for Bank's customers.



The Cyber Security Team of the Bank has many responsibilities for safe-guarding Bank’s IT Assets. The Cyber Security Team is also tasked with running programs amongst Staff and Customers on Cyber Defence tools.

Customer’s bank accounts are accessible via many channels i.e Branch, Net Banking, Mobile Banking, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, NACH-Debit, UPI, AEPS etc. Bank Cyber Security Teams hence have to always be ready with many strategies to thwart cyber crooks.

The hottest sector for cyber criminals is financial institutions and cybercriminals are way ahead in the latest cyber-attack technologies.

Thus, there is an urgent for the Bank’s Cyber Security team to be part of a vibrant networking chain.

The cyber crooks can target bank infrastructure including SWIFT infrastructure. DDoS is a dreaded scenario for Banks. At the same time, banks customers too are targeted via phishing/vishing scams or exploiting vulnerabilities of the devices that customers are using.

Keeping this aim in mind, IDBRT has designed a 5-day workshop titled “Cyber Defence for Banks” at its main Hyderabad campus.

The workshop will start on 6th January 2020 and end on 10th January 2020.
The contents of the workshop are:

1. Defence against DDoS
2. Malware analysis
3. PKI
4. Defence against APTs
5. Web Application Security
6. Security Operations Center
7. Phishing and countermeasures
8. VAPT
9. Authentication techniques
10. Mobile Banking Security
11. Legal coverage under IT Acts
12. Transaction analysis
13. Cyber Forensics

The primary aim of this program is to enlighten the participants with the knowledge of the cyber defense. In turn, it will help banks to strengthen their cybersecurity posture.

The five-day program aims to cover several aspects of cybersecurity and cyber forensics.

A little bit of knowledge of relevant clauses of IT Acts also help participants to understand their position in the techno-legal scenario that arises due to cyber-attacks.

The program will strengthen the participants in cybersecurity. They will be able to deploy appropriate technologies and strategies to counter cyber threats.

So, what are you waiting for, go ahead and ensure your Cyber Security Teams are part of this workshop.

As banking transactions move from the normal channel to the digital channel, the more secure the IT infrastructure is, the more digital transactions will flow.
