Moreover, this significant milestone reinforces the Bank’s commitment to safeguarding customer information and combating the growing threats in the financial sector.
The PCI-DSS is the benchmark for safeguarding cardholder information, and this latest certification demonstrates Union Bank’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data security.
Upgrading from the previous version 3.2, the Bank continues to strengthen its defenses against evolving cyber threats.
Francis Mojoyinola, Chief Information Security Officer at Union Bank, emphasized the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in today’s banking landscape.
He credited the certification to the collective efforts of the Bank’s IT and data security experts, who have worked tirelessly to build a secure environment for customers.
