Strengthening leadership confidence

Cybersecurity for Managers at the Central Bank of Samoa

Fa’afetai to the Central Bank of Samoa management team for the strong engagement and practical discussions during WebSafe Samoa’s Cybersecurity for Managers session.

The session was designed to strengthen management confidence in identifying cyber risks, recognising fraud and scams, and responding effectively when an incident occurs.

Participants explored how leadership decisions can influence the impact of a cyber incident, particularly during the first hour when timely communication, escalation and coordination are critical.

The training also provided a practical opportunity to discuss current risks, organisational responsibilities and the steps managers can take to support a prepared and resilient workplace.
