As a digitally driven commercial bank and avid adopter of modern finance solutions, ABA Bank became the Gold Sponsor for Cybersecurity Day 2025, organized by the Association of Banks in Cambodia (ABC) on May 23, 2025.
This initiative aims to foster close collaboration between the banking sector and relevant authorities on consumer protection, knowledge enhancement on cybersecurity practices, and raise awareness of cyber literacy in the banking industry.
The event was presided over by Long Vibunrith, Deputy Director General of Central Banking Operations of the National Bank of Cambodia, Major General Sok Nithya, Director of the Anti-Cyber Crime Department of the General Commissariat of National Police, and other distinguished guests.
As part of the program, Torsten Kleine Buening, Chief Risk Officer at ABA Bank, participated in a panel discussion, "Enhancing Fraud Prevention, Detection, and Cyber Literacy in Banks". The discussion explored common cyber-attacks on banks, highlighted the best practices for threat mitigation, and promoted cyber literacy among the participants.
