FCMB honoured for advancing digital trust, cybersecurity

First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has been recognised by the Lagos Chapter of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) for its contributions to technology governance, cybersecurity, risk management, audit, assurance and digital trust in Nigeria.

The recognition was presented to FCMB at ISACA Lagos Chapter’s 30th anniversary celebration held in Lagos on August 21, 2026.

The bank’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Yemisi Edun, received a commemorative plaque on behalf of FCMB, recognising the institution’s support for digital trust and professional development.

Edun said the bank valued its partnership with ISACA, adding that strong technology governance and cybersecurity were becoming increasingly important as financial services continued to depend on digital platforms.

“We value our partnership with ISACA. This honour reflects our shared commitment to strengthening the professional capabilities and standards that underpin digital trust,” she said.

She added, “As financial services become more technology-driven, sound governance, cybersecurity, risk management, and assurance will remain essential to institutional resilience, customer protection, and sustainable economic growth.”

Edun expressed confidence that ISACA would continue to build the capacity of technology professionals to tackle emerging risks while taking advantage of new opportunities in the digital economy.

Speaking at the event, ISACA Global Chief Executive Officer, Erik Prusch, praised the experience and resilience of Nigeria’s information technology and cybersecurity professionals.

He stressed the importance of having trained and capable employees to help organisations grow, adapt to changes and benefit from emerging technologies.

The President of the ISACA Lagos Chapter, Justus Osuji, said the 30th anniversary offered an opportunity to reflect on three decades of professional service, leadership and knowledge development.

He highlighted the chapter’s contributions to information systems auditing, cybersecurity, governance, risk management, compliance and emerging technologies in Nigeria and beyond.

FCMB said it would continue to invest in digital capabilities, technology infrastructure, cybersecurity and risk management as part of efforts to provide secure and convenient financial services to individuals, businesses and institutions.
