In this blog, we will explore the realm of cybersecurity training, from both the employee and customer perspectives.
Financial institutions are prime targets for cybercriminals. Recognizing that employees are often the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain, comprehensive training programs are crucial to fortifying the human firewall. Training should cover the latest cyber threats, social engineering tactics, and the importance of maintaining strong password hygiene.
