#InfoSec2025 — Financial Services Panel; From Compliance to Proactive Defense: Rethinking Cybersecurity in Financial Services
Ronald Mugisha — Senior Cyber & Fraud Risk Officer, Uganda Bankers’ Association (UBA)
Ronald spotlighted one of the sector’s strongest collaborative fronts — the Financial Sector Anti-Fraud Consortium.
“It brings together the regulators—BOU, FIA, UCC, the Payment Service Providers Association, and the banks—to ask a simple question: Can we work together, share intelligence, and strengthen our collective defenses?”
Key insights from his message:
🤝 Collaboration > Competition: cyber threats don’t respect boundaries—industry-wide sharing builds resilience faster than isolated fixes.
💡 Four work streams, one goal: from technology & infrastructure to intelligence, policy, and incident response—each focuses on what drives positive impact.
🔐 Collective vigilance: early detection through shared knowledge reduces response time across the ecosystem.
📈 Regulator alignment: cooperation ensures consistency in policies, reporting, and capacity building across institutions.
Why it matters: In an interconnected financial ecosystem, collaboration is the new control—fighting fraud as one industry, not as individual banks.
💬 Question: How is your institution contributing to shared intelligence or joint action in the fight against fraud and cybercrime?
