Understanding cybersecurity risks and protective measures
Cybersecurity is not just the responsibility of IT staff; everyone at an organisation can be a target, victim, and access point. This module provides a clear and practical introduction to cybersecurity risks within the financial services sector, using real-world case studies to demonstrate the scale, impact and consequences of cyber-attacks.
Learners will develop an understanding of common attack types, how they occur, and the steps individuals and organisations can take to reduce risk, protect sensitive data and prevent significant financial, regulatory and reputational harm.
Learner outcomes: By completing this module, learners will be able to recognise common cybersecurity threats, understand how different types of cyber-attacks occur, and identify the role individual behaviour plays in preventing data breaches. Learners will gain practical awareness of how to spot suspicious activity, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and apply good cybersecurity practices to protect their organisation, customers and sensitive information.
