Cybersecurity and Data Governance in Development Finance

Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and specialized financial entities hold highly sensitive data—from sovereign financial information and national security details to individual project beneficiary data—making them high-value targets for cyber threats. This course provides a specialized framework for establishing rigorous **Cybersecurity and Data Governance** programs tailored to the DFI context. Participants will learn how to implement international standards (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001), protect critical project data in high-risk jurisdictions, and ensure compliance with global data privacy regulations. The program emphasizes the integration of cyber risk into enterprise risk management and the development of resilient incident response and recovery capabilities.
