Introduction:

Security risk management has become a strategic function within central banks to safeguard critical assets, personnel, facilities, information systems, and financial operations against evolving physical, cyber, and operational threats. It integrates enterprise security governance, cyber resilience, critical infrastructure protection, threat intelligence, crisis management, business continuity, and operational resilience to ensure the continuity and integrity of central banking operations. This training program explores advanced security risk management frameworks, cyber resilience models, critical infrastructure protection strategies, incident response methodologies, and governance practices aligned with international best practices for central banks. It provides an institutional perspective on how integrated security management strengthens organizational resilience, enhances threat preparedness, and supports the secure operation of central banking environments.
