Introducing Cybersecurity Awareness for Finance Teams

Cyberattacks no longer start in the server room. They start in inboxes, text messages, and phone calls. And more often than not, they target finance teams.
Accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and treasury staff sit at the intersection of trust, urgency, and money movement. That combination makes them one of the most attractive targets for cybercriminals. Business email compromise, payment fraud, phishing, smishing, and vishing attacks are now routine threats for finance professionals across every industry.
To address this growing risk, LMS Portals is proud to offer a new role-specific training
course: Cybersecurity Awareness for Finance Teams.
This course is designed to help organizations reduce financial risk, strengthen compliance, and protect sensitive financial data through practical, finance-focused cybersecurity awareness training.
Why Generic Cybersecurity Training Is No Longer Enough
Most organizations already provide some form of cybersecurity awareness training. The problem is that much of it is generic. It treats every employee the same, regardless of role, access level, or exposure to risk.
Finance teams are different.
They handle:
Wire transfers and ACH payments
Vendor banking changes
Payroll and tax data
Sensitive customer and employee information
Attackers know this. That is why finance staff are frequently targeted with highly tailored social engineering attacks that exploit authority, urgency, and trust.
Generic training does not prepare finance professionals for these situations. They need training that reflects their daily workflows, decision points, and responsibilities.
Cybersecurity Awareness for Finance Teams was built specifically to fill that gap.
About the Course: Cybersecurity Awareness for Finance Teams
This course is a structured, role-based cybersecurity awareness program designed exclusively for finance and accounting professionals.
It focuses on real-world threats finance teams face every day and the practical actions they can take to reduce risk.
Key topics covered include:
Why finance teams are prime cyber targets
How phishing, smishing, and vishing attacks work
Business email compromise and payment fraud tactics
Secure payment and wire transfer practices
Vendor onboarding and change control risks
Payroll and employee data protection
Incident response expectations for finance teams
Building secure daily finance habits
The course is delivered as a modular learning experience and concludes with a final exam to validate understanding and support compliance requirements.
