As technology rapidly advances, cyber threats take on new forms and pose a higher scale of pressure to digital security systems worldwide. Core Banking technology, networks, cloud and on-premise infrastructures, web and mobile apps all require constant security and proactive risk management to safeguard against penetration and to protect private and vital data.

For best practice, Hiring Managers are more likely to hire IT Support individuals with an ITIL qualification to deliver efficient IT services.
