GEC NEWS WIREBanque Saudi Fransi, a leading provider of comprehensive commercial banking and wealth management services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has agreed a partnership with global cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab, to provide better protection to their online users and to raise the level of security awareness among its clients.
In line with its ‘Banque of Excellence’ strategy, Banque Saudi Fransi is offering the Kaspersky Total Security multi-device product to its online banking customers free of charge, as a proactive measure for protecting their personal devices from viruses and other malware infections.
Banque Saudi Fransi and Kaspersky Lab aim to lower the levels of financial cybercrime by informing users about the current and emerging threats and to give advice on how to avoid financial cybersecurity risks.
“The current realities are such that many people still do not have a security solution installed on their devices and do not know a lot about safe practices in cyberspace. For example, they can’t identify phishing messages or fake websites, which is leaving them vulnerable to a cyberattack. Together with Banque Saudi Fransi we hope to improve this situation,” said Ashraf Abdelazim, В2В Business Development Director in the Middle East at Kaspersky Lab.
