This thesis examines credit risk management (CRM) practices in the banking sector of Azerbaijan with a focus on the application and effectiveness of international and local standards in credit risk management. The study begins by defining credit risk and discussing its importance in maintaining financial stability in banks. Various theoretical models of credit risk measurement, including traditional and modern approaches, are reviewed and their applicability in the Azerbaijani context is assessed. An in-depth analysis of credit risk management in a commercial bank (Kapital Bank) is conducted and differences in risk exposure and management strategies are identified.

The findings reveal significant differences in Kapital Bank's CRM practices as well as divergence in the implementation of the Basel standards. The thesis concludes with recommendations aimed at improving the regulatory framework and CRM practices to enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of credit risk management at Kapital Bank.

Securing the future of remote work: Novel cyber threat mitigation strategies

The business environment has been greatly changed by the COVID-19 pandemic, accelerating the shift to remote work and increasing organizations' susceptibility to cyber threats. Conventional security approaches that concentrate on perimeter defense have been ineffective in addressing the challenges of remote work environments. This thesis examines new risk mitigation strategies for addressing cyber threats, focusing on implementation and effectiveness of zero-trust security frameworks. This study uses a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods, including whitepapers analysis and expert questionnaires, to identify significant cybersecurity threats linked to remote work. It assesses the effectiveness of zero-trust principles and explores cybersecurity professionals' perception and understanding. The results show that adopting a zero-trust framework greatly improves an organization's security posture by implementing stringent access controls and continuous monitoring, reducing risks like breaches, phishing attacks, and other cyber threats. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the difficulties of zero-trust architectures implementation, such as the required cultural shifts within organizations and technical requirements.
