Introduction
While organisations continue to invest in people, processes, and technologies to strengthen their Cyber Security posture, many still feel exposed. A key challenge is the focus on the likelihood of an attack rather than managing the risks proactively.
To address such challenges, Mastercard, has developed a Risk-Based Approach methodology that enables organisations to respond proactively.
BIRGER., in collaboration with the Seychelles Bankers Association, is organising a workshop aimed at demonstrating how to assess and safeguard your organisation using this strategy: empowering you to face the unexpected with confidence.
Date: 17 February 2026
Time: 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Venue: L'Escale Resort, Mahé
Looking forward to welcoming you.
