In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, banks are not only financial institutions but also technology-driven enterprises. As banking operations migrate to digital platforms, cyber threats targeting financial institutions have become more sophisticated and relentless. The consequences of cyberattacks—ranging from financial loss to reputational damage—can be catastrophic, making cybersecurity and technology risk management fundamental pillars of modern banking. The financial sector is one of the most highly regulated industries globally, and for good reason, it holds the trust of billions of individuals and businesses. However, with increased digitization— through mobile banking, cloud computing, open banking APIs, and AI-driven services—comes an expanded attack surface. Incidents such as ransomware attacks, data breaches, and sophisticated fraud schemes have demonstrated that a proactive approach to cybersecurity is not just optional—it is imperative. This 2-book collection is designed to provide banking professionals, technology leaders, and cybersecurity practitioners with comprehensive insight into building robust cybersecurity frameworks and managing technology risks effectively. This book, Cyber Resilience in Banking: A Practical Guide to Governance, Risk, and Compliance focuses on building strong cybersecurity governance structures, meeting regulatory standards, and aligning cybersecurity practices with business objectives. Drawing on the author’s experience as a cybersecurity practitioner, technology risk leader, and educator, he has crafted this series to bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical applications in banking security. The second book is Technology, AI, and Operational Security in Banking: Mastering Cybersecurity and Tech Risk Management.
