In an increasingly digitized world, cybersecurity plays a pivotal role in securing transactions within the payments ecosystem. In this course, you’ll take a deeper dive into payments cybersecurity and its practical application in today’s ever-changing industry.
This course follows our new blended learning model, which includes a mix of self-study and live instructor-led sessions. Learn more about blended learning.
The course begins with two weeks of self-paced learning. Start with an overview of the payments ecosystem. Get to know the key players in the ecosystem and review current and emerging payment types before exploring the importance of cybersecurity in the payments industry.
Next, explore key risk management practices and security fundamentals. Review risk management methodologies and learn how to identify, assess, treat and monitor risk. You’ll also gain a stronger understanding of the purpose of cybersecurity, the confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) triad and how to identify the different types of cybersecurity controls.
You’ll then gain insights into the payments industry's regulatory concepts and key sector drivers, including critical elements such as payment card industry (PCI) standards. You’ll also explore the strategic role policies and governance play in guiding industry practices based on regulatory norms and security control domains.
Conclude the self-paced learning section of the course course by diving into the payments threat landscape. Learn how to mitigate common threats and vulnerabilities, apply data protection strategies and implement patching and vulnerability management processes. You’ll also take an in-depth look at enterprise security operations and the product security lifecycle.
During the live sessions with a Visa University trainer, you will be guided through hands-on case studies to deepen the foundational knowledge gained during the self-paced learning section of the course. These live sessions include activities, reflection, regional considerations and action planning, helping you apply what you have learned to your real-life work.
