Ahlibank has launched a series of cybercrime awareness videos on the bank’s website, www.ahlibank.com.qa, and sent them via SMS to customers.
With increasing levels of online activity, Alhlibank said users are more susceptible to cybercrime. The cybercrime awareness videos provide tips about safeguarding customer’s personal information while browsing and carrying out financial transactions online.
Ahlibank CEO Salah Murad said: “With advancing technology across our business and personal lives, we spend more and more time online on our devices browsing, shopping, banking, and messaging. And with increased cyber threats faced, customers need to be aware, educated, and alert about the dangers of cybercrime, which can cause financial losses to individuals and our economy.
“As an integral part of the community, Ahlibank has launched a series of cybercrime awareness videos to our customers highlighting the risks and tips to avoid being a victim of cybercrime. The security of our customer’s personal information and financial transactions is our priority and we ensure it stays secure and safe.”
Murad added: “We are grateful to the efforts of the Qatar Central Bank in leading information security initiatives through the implementation of relevant policies and procedures to protect against cybercrime. We are proud to have sponsored the ‘3rd Annual Information Security Conference for the Financial Sector’, organised by the Qatar Central Bank.”
