Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of banking cybersecurity. Growth built on poorly controlled the practice within financial and banking practice reverses faster than it accumulated. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this area of financial and banking practice, not for observers of it. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting banking cybersecurity, ready to be adapted internally. The difficulty is not agreeing that the wider financial and banking practice agenda matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the financial and banking practice capability outperform teams that only plan it. Participants apply banking cybersecurity to their own business line throughout, so the output is directly usable. The course covers the wider financial and banking practice agenda at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of financial and banking practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
