Description
The Islamic finance industry is undergoing rapid digital transformation. From online banking and mobile Islamic finance apps to blockchain-based sukuk platforms and AI-driven Shari’ah compliance tools, Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) are more connected than ever before.
However, with digital innovation comes heightened exposure to cybersecurity threats—data breaches, financial fraud, ransomware attacks, identity theft, and even manipulation of smart contracts.
For Islamic finance, cybersecurity is not just a technical concern—it is a Shari’ah imperative.
Protecting customers’ trust (amanah), preventing financial harm (darar), and ensuring transparency (kashf) are central to the ethical and legal foundations of Islamic financial governance.
Recognizing this urgent need, IBS with its international partners is launching a 3-Day Specialized Workshop to build cybersecurity awareness, capabilities, and strategies tailored to Islamic financial institutions.
Outcomes
• Raise awareness about the cybersecurity risks facing Islamic financial institutions.
• Equip stakeholders with best practices for cyber risk management, incident response, and regulatory compliance.
• Explore Shari’ah perspectives on data protection, customer privacy, and ethical tech governance.
• Develop a cybersecurity roadmap for Jordan’s Islamic finance market.
