Why This Course?
Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT problem. Ransomware disruptions, phishing-induced payment errors, and data breaches directly affect financial reporting reliability, internal controls, and business continuity. Yet most financial professionals lack the practical understanding to assess these risks.
This one-day, hands-on training bridges the gap between finance and IT. You will learn to think like a hacker, without needing any technical background, and walk away with the ability to ask the right questions, assess cyber risks, and translate threats into actionable control measures.
