Cyber awareness training for financial services
Regulators expect your people trained. Attackers expect them tired. We deliver live security awareness training that satisfies the auditors and actually changes what your staff click, sign and approve.
Why financial services get targeted
These are the attack patterns we train against in this sector, drawn from live campaigns rather than textbook examples.
Business email compromise
Payment redirection and vendor bank-detail fraud remain among the costliest scam types reported by Singapore businesses, and finance teams are the prime target.
Deepfake executive fraud
Finance staff have been talked into eight-figure transfers by deepfake video calls in the region. Verification protocols only work when every approver actually uses them.
Credential phishing at scale
Fake login pages and MFA-fatigue attacks target your staff because one set of credentials opens client data, payment systems and email at once.
Third-party and client impersonation
Spoofed custodians, fund administrators and clients pressure-test your people daily. The habit of verifying out-of-band has to be trained, not assumed.
The rules your people operate under
Training is the control every one of these frameworks expects, and our engagement report is the evidence they ask for.
The Technology Risk Management Guidelines expect a security awareness programme for all staff, refreshed regularly and evidenced.
MAS cyber hygiene requirements set the control baseline; your people are the layer those controls depend on.
Client and investor personal data carries protection obligations, with staff training the expected safeguard.
Internal audit, external audit and cyber insurers all ask the same question: show us the training and the results.

Financial questions, answered
Does this satisfy the MAS TRM training expectation?
The programme is built to evidence a security awareness programme in practice: documented curriculum, attendance, before-and-after measurement and simulation results, reported annually. Your compliance team maps our report directly into audit responses.
Can you run separate sessions for front, middle and back office?
Yes. Scenarios differ by desk: client-facing teams get impersonation and data-handling depth, finance and operations get payment-fraud depth. The annual programmes are built for exactly this split.
We are a small fund manager, not a bank. Is this proportionate?
Yes. A boutique manager usually starts with a half-day workshop plus simulation, then an Essentials programme. You get the same evidence pack, sized to a smaller headcount and budget.
How current are the fraud scenarios?
Live. The curriculum is refreshed continuously with the campaigns circulating in Singapore and the region, including AI-generated phishing and deepfake approval fraud.
