Binance held a security training session with employees of the National Bank of Georgia on Oct. 7, the company announced today. The session was a three-hour meeting, with a focus on combating cyber and financial crime. More than 30 officials attended the training.
According to the Binance announcement, the Binance Georgia workshop was the latest in a series of events organized under Binance’s first-of-its-kind global Law Enforcement Training Program. The program is designed to further the company’s collaboration with local and international authorities in fighting financial crime facilitated by digital assets.
“Binance has the most robust compliance program in the fintech industry, incorporating anti-money laundering (AML) and global sanctions principles, as well as tools to preemptively detect suspicious accounts and fraudulent activity,” said Tigran Gambaryan, VP of Global Intelligence and Investigations at Binance. “Thanks to the Georgian financial regulators and law enforcement agencies for their collaboration and commitment to addressing the challenges in this nascent and fast-growing industry.”
Gambaryan spoke at the event, presenting a report on investigations in the digital asset space. Additionally, he shared observations and insights he accumulated throughout his career in law enforcement with the employees.
