DBS launched a cybersecurity training course, titled DBS #Cyberwellness, aimed to aid 280,000 small and medium enterprises in dealing with potential digital threats.

The complimentary programis a two-hour course made up of 10 online modules covering a specific area of cybersecurity—password protection, phishing, digital scams, and social media security.Each lesson can be accessed through an e-learning platform.

At the completion of the course, cyber insurance and other similar security solutions will be offered to participants.

The group is also looking to partner with government agencies to scale the programme, with Starhub being announced as their first programme partner.

“SMEs tend to be more vulnerable to cyberthreats because they lack the time or resources of bigger companies. We believe we can make the biggest impact by equipping the employees of SMEs with foundational cybersecurity skills, which become ingrained everyday habits as they put their skills to practice. Most importantly, trained employees become the first line of cyber defence for SMEs and play a crucial role in averting downtime due to catastrophic cyberattacks,” said Joyce Tee, Group Head of SMEBanking, DBS.

Initially, the program was rolled out as a pilot to social enterprises and charities in Lion City.
