Buraq Bank has organized an Information Security Awareness Session for key employees at its Head Office in Karachi as part of its continued efforts to strengthen information security practices and promote greater awareness of cyber risks within the organization. The session formed part of the bank ongoing commitment to creating a secure digital banking environment by encouraging employees to better understand the importance of cybersecurity and their role in protecting sensitive information. As financial institutions continue to expand their digital services, employee awareness remains an important element in reducing cyber risks and supporting secure banking operations.
The awareness session was delivered by Ahmed Saqib Asad, Chief Information Officer at Buraq Bank, who discussed the importance of cybersecurity awareness, data protection, and responsible security practices across the organization. During the session, employees were reminded that maintaining a secure digital environment requires the active participation of every individual within the institution. The discussion emphasized that information security is not limited to technology teams alone but is a shared responsibility that extends across all departments. By improving awareness of cyber threats and promoting secure handling of information, organizations can reduce potential risks while strengthening the overall resilience of their digital infrastructure.
The session also highlighted the significance of protecting sensitive data and following established security practices in day to day operations. Employees were encouraged to remain vigilant when handling digital information and to understand the role they play in safeguarding customer data and organizational assets.

By investing in employee education and encouraging shared accountability, the bank aims to strengthen its overall security posture while supporting the safe delivery of digital banking services.
