On Thursday, August 21st, the National Cybersecurity Coordination Committee (NCCC), in collaboration with the Seychelles Bankers Association (SBA), successfully conducted a cybersecurity awareness workshop.
This half-day workshop focused on enhancing cyber resilience, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and aligning with international standards.
Key highlights included presentations from NCCC members, including Chairperson Mr. Paul Savy, Mr. Carlos Hoareau, and Mr. Raj Chetty. They provided a comprehensive overview of the current cyber threat landscape and the primary risks facing financial institutions.
The team also introduced the National Cybersecurity Baseline, which is grounded in internationally recognised standards. They shared practical guidance on strengthening resilience through incident response playbooks, improved data protection, vendor risk management, and sector-wide collaboration.
A representative from one of the member banks presented a real-world case study illustrating how adopting the baseline successfully prevented a major cyber incident.
The workshop emphasised that cyber resilience is a shared responsibility and that collaboration is essential for protecting Seychelles’ financial sector against evolving threats.
The NCCC will continue to work closely with the SBA and the Central Bank of Seychelles to provide support, share best practices, and build a stronger, safer digital future for all.
