Financial Security Institute Launches Financial Security Manager Training Program

Financial Security Manager Certification Exams to Be Held in July and November

On April 21, the Financial Security Institute announced that it will launch a training program for Financial Security Managers to cultivate digital financial security professionals. The related certification exams will be held in July and November.

The curriculum consists of four subjects: financial business, financial security management systems, financial IT security, and electronic financial security. The online training will be conducted twice, each lasting six weeks. Starting from April 28, the institute plans to recruit 200 participants per session. All employees of member companies of the Financial Security Institute are eligible to apply for the course.

The Financial Security Manager certification exam will be held in July and November this year. Only those who have completed the Financial Security Manager training program and have at least three years of experience in the IT or information security fields are eligible to take the exam. Upon obtaining the certification, candidates may be exempted from mandatory promotion-related courses or receive additional points in personnel evaluations, depending on the financial institution. Since its first implementation in 2018, a total of 959 people have completed the training program, and 346 have passed the certification exam.

Park Sangwon, President of the Financial Security Institute, said, "With the implementation of accountability structures to strengthen internal controls and risk management in the financial sector, the importance of professionals specializing in personal credit information is increasing. We are also planning to launch a training program for such experts."
