Introduction

The persistence and evolution of cybercrime, driven by individuals with intentions of causing both sabotage and financial harm, hinge significantly on their methods of operation, environmental conditions, political incentives, and technological connectivity. The anonymity granted by the internet has facilitated the global reach of cybercriminals, allowing them to operate from jurisdictions entirely disconnected from the geographical locations of their victims.

This course serves as a pertinent opportunity for existing information technology (IT) professionals aiming to elevate their skills and expertise in the realms of cyber and data governance. It is ideally suited for those with ambitions to become specialists within the banking and finance sector. Furthermore, it caters to professionals in other industries engaged in electronic business interactions with the banking and financial sector.

By enrolling in this course, learners will acquire the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the intricate world of cybercrime and cybersecurity. They will gain insights into the strategies employed by cybercriminals, the global landscape of cyber threats, and the measures needed to safeguard their organisations and sectors from such risks. In doing so, they contribute to fortifying the digital defences of their institutions and ensuring the integrity of electronic transactions in an increasingly interconnected world.
