Commercial Bank is the gold sponsor of Qatar Central Bank’s Information Security for the Financial Sector Conference, which will be held today and tomorrow at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

The two-day conference, with the theme “Challenges and Solutions”, connects leading Qatari and international financial experts to review security and protection regulations and focus on processes, awareness and best practices in the information security field.

Commercial Bank chief executive officer Abdullah Saleh al-Raisi said, “Commercial Bank believes that information security is fundamental in financial services. As such, the bank places a priority on developing, documenting and implementing security programmes designed to protect our data and information systems, whether managed in-house or by a third party.”

“We are looking forward to supporting Qatar Central Bank’s conference on this vital issue and are proud to sponsor the conference and facilitate discussions about the dangers facing banks and financial institutions from payment fraud, card fraud, online banking threats and mobile banking risks,” al-Raisi said.

He added that the conference will also provide a platform for industry leaders to develop responses to possible security threats and establish a “unified information security strategy” for Qatar’s financial sector.
