mission
Security can never be an afterthought. The global nature of organized crime and the risks it poses to our organisations makes collaboration with multi-disciplinary and like-minded experts essential. As cybercrimes transcend time and physical proximity, our ability to keep abreast of cross border developments is vital. We are fortunate that the trusted IBSA network offers us this platform.

about
In 1983 The International Banking Security Association (IBSA) was established as a not-for-profit corporation in the State of Illinois, United States of America. IBSA is an association of bank and other financial services security professionals representing the global community.
IBSA’s primary objective is the prevention, detection and investigation of financial crime, crime against assets and the security and continuity of banking business within global financial operations.
IBSA members share these goals on an individual basis within their financial organizations and collectively through education, mutual assistance and cooperation within the association.
