A seminar-training titled “Effective Response to Cyber Crisis Situations” was held at the Central Bank in cooperation with Mastercard. Employees from the Central Bank and commercial banks took part in the event.
The training focused on ensuring an effective response to potential cyber threats in the financial sector, managing risks, and maintaining system resilience. Participants enhanced their practical knowledge and skills in preventing cyberattacks, mitigating their consequences, and rapidly restoring systems.
“Given the growing number of cyber crises and threats, cybersecurity has become a critical issue for every organization and individual worldwide. In recent years, Mastercard has been actively cooperating with our partners in Uzbekistan on a number of projects. Globally, Mastercard has invested over $11 billion to protect customers,” said Resat Kokcen, Head of Cybersecurity Solutions for Eastern Europe at Mastercard.
During the seminar, participants engaged in practical exercises and simulations reflecting real-life scenarios, discussing decision-making in cyber crisis situations, teamwork, and rapid coordination. Modern approaches to data security, customer data protection, and ensuring business continuity were also reviewed.
Such trainings, conducted in cooperation with Mastercard, play an important role in strengthening the cyber resilience of the financial system, introducing international best practices, and enhancing preparedness for modern threats.
