HDFC Bank launches cybercrime training programme for Delhi police under Secure Banking InitiativeNew Delhi, April 17, 2014: HDFC Bank Ltd today launched a cybercrime training programme for Delhi police, to update the skill sets of law enforcement authorities and enhance their ability to tackle cyber related economic offences. HDFC Bank is conducting this programme as part of its larger Secure Banking Initiative, which aims at engaging with all its key stakeholders to improve banking security across different channels.
Over the last decade there has been an increase in cybercrime across India, with the
advent of electronic channels of payment. Tech-savvy criminals regularly look for new ways to attempt to defraud consumers through these channels. As the methods employed by these criminals evolve, it is vital that law enforcement authorities have the most updated information to handle such cases.
HDFC Bank therefore created a 2-day training programme on cyber crime for Police and other law enforcement authorities in partnership with Mahindra SSG. The first training programme was launched in New Delhi, with 50-55 police officers expected to participate. The programme will cover various aspects of investigating cyber crime such as how to identify and deal with skimming scams, vishing, phishing, data counterfeiting, SIM duplication and email threats among others.
The programme was inaugurated by Mr. V .V Chaudhary, Additional Commissioner of Police, and Mr Jatinder Mani, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police along with Mr Vishal Salvi, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), HDFC Bank, Mr Vijay Kamath, Head, RIC, HDFC Bank and other senior bank officials.

Speaking at the inauguration, Mr Vishal Salvi, CISO, HDFC Bank said, "The endeavour of this programme is to partner with law enforcement authorities and equip them with appropriate skill sets to tackle cyber crime with the help of real-life examples and case studies. We'd like to thank the Delhi police for extending their support and co-operation in setting up this programme, which is a part of our larger Secure Banking Initiative."
In addition to the training programme for law enforcement authorities, HDFC Bank also conducts workshops for its customers at various branches under its Secure Banking initiative. These workshops aim to educate customers and raise awareness about precautions they need to take while conducting banking transactions; be it using a cheque, transacting at ATMs, using debit or credit cards at POS terminals, merchant outlets and online banking.
