Who Should Attend
This programme is suitable for all users in the Accounting and Finance Industry who would like to have a deeper understanding of cybersecurity, its risks and challenges and how to manage the risks effectively in today’s rapidly transforming digital economy.
PREREQUISITES
There are no prerequisites for this programme. Prior knowledge on any of the topics is not required.
Overview
As organisations adopt advanced digital technologies and Generative AI, cybersecurity has become a material financial, operational, and governance risk. Cybercriminals increasingly exploit the same technologies and AI capabilities to launch sophisticated attacks that disrupt operations, compromise data, trigger regulatory breaches, and result in significant financial and reputational losses.
This two-day executive programme equips finance, accounting, audit, and risk professionals with a practical understanding of cybersecurity risks, controls, and governance in the digital economy. Participants will learn to assess cyber risks across cloud, IoT, mobile, and interconnected systems; evaluate the effectiveness of security controls through real-world case studies; and leverage AI-driven analytics and automation to strengthen risk management and assurance. The programme also examines the evolving role of Generative AI in both cyber threats and defences, and its implications for the future of cybersecurity, enabling informed, forward-looking, risk-aware decision-making.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this programme, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate cybersecurity risks and exposures affecting financial systems, digital assets, and sensitive data across cloud, IoT, mobile, and interconnected environments.
- Explain key cybersecurity concepts and threat landscapes, including attacker profiles, attack methods, and their financial, operational, and regulatory implications.
- Analyse major cybersecurity incidents and case studies to identify root causes, control weaknesses, and lessons relevant to organisational risk management and governance.
- Apply recognised cybersecurity governance frameworks and zero-trust security principles to the design, assessment, and oversight of policies, internal controls, and incident response and recovery plans.
- Assess the effectiveness of cybersecurity technologies and solutions (e.g. IDS, IPS, DLP, SIEM, mobile security) from a risk, control, and assurance perspective.
- Demonstrate an understanding of Generative AI–enabled cybersecurity analytics and automation, and their application in threat detection, prediction, and enterprise risk management.
- Evaluate the evolving impact of Generative AI on the future of cybersecurity, including emerging risks, control considerations, and governance challenges.
- Interpret relevant cybersecurity laws, regulatory obligations, and liabilities, and assess their implications for financial oversight, compliance, and organisational accountability.
Assessment
As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.
Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by Singapore Management University.
