India's SFMS infrastructure underpins RTGS, NEFT, and CFMS payment systems operating 24×365, with IDRBT CA having issued over 300,000 digital certificates to banks and financial institutions—making PKI lifecycle integrity a direct prerequisite for national settlement continuity. This Short Course was created to help Cybersecurity professionals accomplish secure, uninterrupted management of SFMS PKI certificates and INFINET resilience controls under RBI's evolving cybersecurity framework. By completing this course, you'll be able to execute zero-disruption certificate renewals and revocations across clustered servers, read consolidated security logs to flag and escalate failure indicators, and produce a gap-documented resilience report against the IDRBT checklist—all ready for your next maintenance window.

● By the end of this course, you will be able to: ● Apply certificate lifecycle procedures to renew, revoke, and replace SFMS PKI certificates without disrupting INFINET traffic ● Analyze SFMS security logs to identify indicators of failure such as certificate expiry, trust-store mismatches, or network segmentation breaches (Analyze) ● Evaluate redundancy and monitoring configurations against the IDRBT resilience checklist to confirm continuous SFMS availability (Evaluate) This course is unique because it is purpose-built for India's banking financial network context, combining IDRBT CA certificate management procedures, INFINET-specific network segmentation controls, and RBI-mandated cyber resilience requirements into a single, operationally focused learning pathway for custodians of critical payment infrastructure. To be successful in this project, you should have a background in PKI fundamentals, network security operations, and banking IT infrastructure at CB2 intermediate-level expertise.
