We are delighted to announce the launch of a new course on managing cyber risk and resilience in the financial services industry. The Managing Financial Sector Cyber Risk course has been developed in collaboration with the Florence School of Banking and Finance.
As digital transformation accelerates, cyber risk is a priority for every financial services organisation. This new short course provides financial services professionals with practical and strategic skills to assess vulnerabilities, manage incidents and strengthen resilience in an increasingly AI-driven landscape.
Welcoming the launch of the new course, Mary O’Dea, IOB CEO, said: “As the financial services industry becomes more interconnected, the cyber risks facing organisations are growing in scale and complexity. Every organisation must strengthen its cyber resilience for customers, clients and our society. We are delighted to partner with our colleagues in the Florence School of Banking and Finance to develop and deliver this timely course, which is relevant for professionals working in private sector and public sector institutions.”
Commenting on the launch of the course, Daria Vernon De Mars, Course Director, Florence School of Banking and Finance, said: “Cyber risk in the financial sector is evolving faster than ever, from AI-driven threats to geopolitical tensions. This evolving landscape demands strategic insight, regulatory awareness, and an understanding of the broader security implications. This programme aims to equip professionals with the tools and perspectives needed not only to comprehend and navigate these dynamics, but also to respond to them effectively in real-world scenarios.”
