The Reality Behind Digital Banking Threats

Last month, I reviewed incident reports from three major Canadian banks. What struck me wasn't just the frequency of attacks—it was how many could have been prevented with better security awareness.

Social engineering attempts increased 340% in 2024. Phishing emails targeting banking customers became more sophisticated. And mobile banking vulnerabilities? They're not going anywhere.

Learning From Someone Who's Been There

I spent eight years analyzing security breaches at two major banks before moving into education. What I noticed was a gap between theoretical security knowledge and practical application.

Our program focuses on real scenarios because that's what works. When someone completes our training, they understand not just what to do, but why certain protocols exist and how to adapt them.
