CBB organizes Specialized Cyber Security Awareness Event in coordination with NCSC

The Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) has hosted a specialized cybersecurity awareness event in collaboration with the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC). The initiative, titled “Securing Financial Services Data in the AI Era,” was designed to provide professionals within the kingdom’s financial sector with updated strategies to protect sensitive data against emerging digital threats.

According to reports from Bahrain This Week, the event served as a platform for industry experts to discuss the intersection of artificial intelligence and financial security. The collaboration between the CBB and the NCSC underscores a broader national effort to fortify Bahrain’s financial infrastructure against sophisticated cyberattacks, which have become increasingly prevalent as financial institutions integrate more AI-driven tools into their daily operations.

This event is part of an ongoing series of training and awareness programs aimed at ensuring that financial institutions in Bahrain remain compliant with international security standards. By coordinating directly with the NCSC, the Central Bank seeks to bridge the gap between regulatory requirements and the practical technical challenges faced by IT and security professionals in the banking sector. Further initiatives are expected to continue as both entities work to maintain the integrity of the national financial ecosystem.
