Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

As fintech is making rounds over the internet and making leapfrogs in the digital transformation realm, cyber-attacks are also catching up. You don’t want to build a fintech unicorn and end up closing it down or sharing a good part of your revenue, due to a GDPR compliance issue or cyber-attacks. The worst part is, with such attacks, you lose trust with your customers. Security is and should be job Zero for any fintech startup or SME, the reason you are here is that you consider security right from the build cycle and ongoing practice, not an afterthought.

In this course, we will take you to the Fintech ecosystem, and what and how technologies are playing their role. What are the challenges and gaps the fintech solutions are having, and ways in which they can be exploited by showcasing case studies and applying threat modeling on data touchpoints with mitigation strategies for top attack vectors? Lastly, the secure fintech development process will be highlighted with a risk assessment framework, security controls for infrastructure and application, incident response mechanism, and how to address legal compliance issues like GDPR, KYC/AML, and PCI/DSS with best security practices.
