The Controllership Series - The Controllers Role in CyberSecurity 1 Credit
Select your learning mode
Cybersecurity is no longer just the IT department’s job. In today’s rapidly evolving digital world, financial professionals—especially controllers—are stepping up to protect sensitive financial systems. The controller’s role encompasses many traditional responsibilities. However, the breadth and depth of the controller’s skill set has expanded, and will continue to grow, as business environments evolve. Years ago, cybersecurity was left to IT experts. Now, it must be part of the controller’s toolbox.
Controllers are uniquely positioned to support cybersecurity efforts within financial operations. They play a critical role in ensuring compliance with data protection regulations, identifying potential cybersecurity risks, and safeguarding sensitive data. By implementing appropriate controls and monitoring for suspicious activity, controllers become the frontline defenders of financial integrity. Their insight into financial systems and processes makes them essential players in organizational cyber defence strategies.

This CPE course provides practical tools, real-world examples, and expert advice to empower controllers to protect what matters most. Don’t just report the numbers—protect them. Enroll now to elevate your role in cybersecurity.
