HDFC Bank on Tuesday conducted a ‘Cyber-crime Responder Training Workshop’ for Raipur city police.
The workshop was aimed at updating the skill sets of law enforcement authorities and enhance their ability to tackle economic offences in the banking space, a Bank press release informed.
This training is part of HDFC Bank’s Secure Banking Initiative, aimed at engaging with all its key stakeholders to improve security in banking across different channels to prevent cyber-crime, it informed.
Over the last decade there has been an increase in economic offences across India where criminals attempt to defraud customers through various means. With the advent of electronic channels of payment, criminals attempt to dupe consumers through these channels.
As the methods employed by these criminals evolve, it is critical that law enforcement authorities are equipped to handle such cases.
HDFC Bank has therefore created a training programme on such offences for Police and other law enforcement authorities.
The programme covers various aspects of investigating economic offences in the banking space, such as how to identify and deal with skimming scams, vishing, phishing, data counterfeiting, identity theft, e-commerce trends, retail assets fraud, SIM duplication and email threats among others. Over 50 police officers attended the seminar.
