Financial Crime and Cyber Security

Qualification & CPD Opportunities


for you and your firm

The severe threat of malicious activity such as hacking, defamation of privacy and denial-of-service attacks are becoming
more recognised - firms of all size are raising security measures and adapting their internal systems to ensure they are
integrating the latest cyber threat intelligence .
Just how much of a role do people play in risky behaviour? User negligence and human error is at the heart of the cyber crime
problem, and a lack of employee understanding with regards to cyber crime can be highly damaging to firms. Organisations
can fight and prevent such incidents by building awareness and educating staff.
To support the financial services industry and our members, we have developed an extensive training and CPD programme
