ASEANFIC hope to be a one-stop shop for bankers and IT security specialist, with everything from getting knowledge to networking; from fellowship to facilities for training, coaching and mentoring. During the morning session, there was a lot of interest in the topic of Branchless Banking. A SecureMetric in Vulnerability Management. Volunteer banks who submitted their bank website for vulnerability scans benefited the most from the workshop.

The closing ceremony was officiated by Cyber Security Malaysia’s, Mohd. Anwer. The delegates who were tired towards the end of the event found ASEANFIC to be very informative. One of the delegates mentioned that ASEANFIC should be held on a yearly basis and more speakers should be invited to share their experience.
