The Georgian financial sector, for the first time this year, joins the international tradition of marking the Cyber Security Awareness Month and launches a campaign, at the initiative of the National Bank of Georgia. The Cyber ​​Security Awareness Month is celebrated worldwide in October.

 

The National Bank of Georgia, with the support of FinEdu Education Platform, the Georgian Bankers’ Association and six commercial banks licensed in Georgia - TBC Bank, Bank of Georgia, VTB Bank Georgia, Liberty Bank, Basisbank and Pasha Bank of Georgia, announced a cybersecurity poster and slogan contest. The purpose of the initiative was to raise cybersecurity awareness.

 

The task of the contestants was to help raise awareness of the security of banking/financial information.

 

As part of the contest, participants had to create a poster (along with a slogan, if desired) that would call for citizens to be mindful when sharing their personal and banking/financial information.

 

The works were evaluated by a committee of ten members composed of representatives of the National Bank of Georgia, the Georgian Bankers’ Association and the above commercial banks.

 

The results showed that Gia Sichinava won the first place with the work: "Password is like your mask.”

 

Luka Katsadze took the second place - "Trust no one blindly."

 

Nodar Kopaleishvili took the third place - "Think twice before it disappears."

 

The National Bank pays great attention to the security of banking/financial information and regularly urges citizens to be vigilant.
