  "account": "The Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Mrs Matilda Asante-Asiedu, emphasized the importance of banks prioritizing cyber resilience over mere compliance. Mrs Asante-Asiedu advocated for this priority to be backed by stronger collaboration and effective execution of the Cyber and Information Security Directive (CISD) 2026. She made these remarks during a workshop organized by the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Association of Banks, aimed at engaging board members and industry leaders in enhancing cybersecurity governance in Ghana's financial sector. This workshop was part of a larger initiative to raise awareness about fraud across the financial sector, focusing on setting the right tone at the top and promoting ethical conduct and robust corporate governance practices. The program included an interactive format, with a Q&A segment allowing participants to delve deeper into the subject and exchange views on the evolving governance challenges in the banking industry. In her speech, Mrs Asante-Asiedu stressed the necessity of moving beyond compliance and making cyber resilience a core leadership priority, backed by robust collaboration and effective implementation of the CISD 2026.",
