Cybersecurity: BGFIBank group acquires a smart platform for awareness campaigns

Monday, 15 January 2018 17:44

BGFIBank initiates a continuing program on security of IT systems for its collaborators. This is in the framework of the implementation of its program to strengthen the security of the group’s information system.  

For this purpose, BGFIBank acquired a smart platform to manage the awareness campaigns. It is an interactive and ludicrous platform made of games and quizzes to evaluate and advance the collaborators’ knowledge in terms of IT security. The goal is to make BGFIBank collaborators security partners conscious of security issues. 

“IT security must be the concern of all the collaborators of BGFIBank group, not just the management and security team. The events that occurred at the beginning of 2017 remind us that the use of digital technology is not without risk of data theft, hacking, fraud etc. We must, therefore, develop good habits and not hesitate to use emergency procedures within the organization” said, Henri Claude OYIMA, BGFIBank’s CEO.
