Training Program

Financial sector supervisors and regulators with responsibilities that include cyber risk regulation and/or supervision at central banks and agencies charged with supervising financial institutions.

Participants are expected to have at least one year of experience in general regulation and supervision of financial institutions. 

This course provides an introductory to intermediate level of training on cyber risk regulation and supervision to non-specialist financial sector supervisors. The course: (i) reviews recent trends in the technology adopted by supervised entities, the evolving threat landscape and their implications for cyber risk and financial stability; (ii) outlines the key elements of cyber risk regulations; (iii) discusses supervisory approaches and tools; and (iv) presents key cybersecurity concepts, covering governance, risk assessment, and information sharing, based on international standards and best practices. Sessions focus on providing practical lessons and tips that can be used by regulators and supervisors, as part of their daily supervisory activities. The sessions are instructional and interactive through group exercises, case studies, role plays, and information sharing discussions.
