Data Security & IT Systems for Financial Institutions

Data protection and privacy laws require that financial organizations take steps to protect all personal identifying and account information – belonging to customers, clients, vendors and employees. Breaches in data security can incapacitate a financial institution, cause severe financial losses and undermine its corporate credibility.

Information & technology infrastructure and electronic data is vital for financial institutions that must not only remain legally compliant, but take preventative measures to ensure successful and secure financial transactions and the security of proprietary data.

The Data Security & IT Systems course teaches employees their responsibility for data protection and IT systems security as it relates to their professional duties. Understanding the basics of IT security – like user IDs, password strength, remote access and user authentication – will help employees of financial institutions incorporate security protocols in their daily activities.
