As technology rapidly advances, cyber threats take on new forms and pose a higher scale of pressure to digital security systems worldwide. Core Banking technology, networks, cloud and on-premise infrastructures, web and mobile apps all require constant security and proactive risk management to safeguard against penetration and to protect private and vital data.

With the growing Cyber Security threat in Asia, this is a crucial role in protecting organisations. Cyber Security individuals must have skills in risk management and governance, and achieved qualifications such as CISM, NIST or CISMP in their career.

Other organisations will have wider teams with more specific roles that respond to different levels of issues:

- Third-Line Engineers will respond to high-level or complex queries.
For best practice, Hiring Managers are more likely to hire IT Support individuals with an ITIL qualification to deliver efficient IT services.
