Cybercrime fraud prevention is a vital field concerned with identifying and addressing potential threats to information and systems security, and personal safety through detection systems or human awareness. This includes implementing security best practices, using detection and protection technologies, educating users on risk management and fraud detection, and developing and implementing information protection policies and regulations.

It covers the latest trends, techniques, and technologies used to monitor, detect, prevent, and respond to fraud incidents. The course blends theoretical knowledge with practical insights, case studies, and hands-on exercises.
Finally, the course shall also provide overview insights on Insider Fraud within financial institutions and elaborate on the possible consequences should it be left unnoticed. The material will cover a wide range of topics from understanding what insider fraud is, identifying potential red flags, implementing effective controls, and developing response strategies.
