This is a 3-day unique, authoritative, high-value, hands-on practical course which will provide participants with essential understanding of the tools, methodologies and vulnerabilities that  fraudsters could employ to exploit IT systems. Most organisations now realise that in order to defend themselves against the threat of attack by fraudsters and indeed any individual intent on causing disruption to their IT systems, IT staff must have an informed and current understanding of the present-day methodologies, tools, and vulnerabilities which allow these exploits to happen. For the banking sector, this course will be very useful in preventing revenue leakages through fraudulent activities.
