  • Coordinate areas of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) involved in cybersecurity (e.g. the Prudential Authority, Financial Stability Department, Business Solutions and Technology Department and National Payment System Department) in ensuring the SARB Group’s participation, alignment and support of sectoral, national, regional and international efforts.
