To mark the 2022 Financial Education Day, the Spanish Banking Association Foundation and CUNEF held a training session on cybersecurity in personal finance under the motto “Education for Safer Finances.”
The session began with an address by Ana Isabel Fernández, Rector of CUNEF, who highlighted the “giant leap” we have made in the use of technology in recent years, which entails a greater need for protection against potential threats.
It also featured banking cybersecurity experts Carles Solé, CISO of Santander Spain; Eduardo Ferrero, partner at Risk Advisory Cyber at Deloitte; and Gustavo Lozano, CISO of ING Spain and Portugal.
The speakers emphasized the importance of distrusting unofficial sources and protecting our data. Additionally, they offered basic cybersecurity tips to improve passwords and strengthen protection when conducting online banking transactions.
The closing of the session was led by José Luis Martínez, spokesperson for the AEB, who recalled that “financial education and digitalization are interrelated tools that allow us to control our future.”
The event, aimed at university students, took place on October 7 at the CUNEF auditorium in Madrid and was broadcast via streaming.
