BIBD Highlights Commitment To Cybersecurity At Brunei Cybersecurity Conference 2024

Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD) reaffirmed its dedication to advancing cybersecurity and protecting customer data, as one of the key sponsors of the Brunei Cybersecurity Conference 2024. This event brought together industry leaders to address evolving cyber threats and discuss solutions for enhancing digital security. 

At the conference, Abdul Fattah Mohd. Ali, Information Security Manager at BIBD, presented on “Driving Organisation-Wide Cyber Vigilance.” His presentation highlighted the importance of fostering a culture where cybersecurity is integrated into every aspect of business operations. BIBD’s comprehensive approach ensures that the highest standards of confidentiality, integrity, and availability are met through a combination of technical, administrative, and physical controls. 

BIBD has consistently demonstrated its commitment to security, recently becoming the first bank in Brunei to introduce advanced security features to its mobile banking app. This strategic move reflects the bank’s ongoing efforts to stay ahead of emerging threats through regular updates and heightened vigilance. 

As cybersecurity continues to play a critical role in today’s interconnected world, BIBD remains committed to raise awareness among its customers and across the wider community. The bank actively promotes security awareness initiatives, helping customers stay informed about potential risks and best practices in digital security.  

At the Brunei Cybersecurity Conference, BIBD’s participation demonstrated its commitment to collaborate with other industry players and regulatory bodies to enhance the nation’s cybersecurity posture. The bank recognises the growing threat landscape, which requires strategic partnerships and knowledge sharing to ensure Brunei’s financial infrastructure remains secure. BIBD’s leadership in cybersecurity ensures that it remains at the forefront of the banking industry, in order to build resilience in the face of sophisticated cyberattacks. 

Through initiatives like these, BIBD continues to be a driving force in promoting cyber awareness and education, not only within the financial sector but specifically among those who are more vulnerable and across the wider community, helping to cultivate a more cyber-conscious society in Brunei.
