Information and Cyber Security Training for Directors

RELEASE DATE: MARCH 25, 2024
DURATION: 75 MINUTES

Since 2020 the Federal Regulators, the FBI, CISA, and NSA have all issued numerous alerts and guidance relating to the increase in cyber-attacks and need for increased awareness and security.  Understanding information and cyber security and protecting the credit union and its members confidential information is not just a fiduciary responsibility but a regulatory requirement.

To help ensure your Director’s understand their responsibility, the threats, and what controls the credit union should have in place, they need to receive annual training.  This annual training is also a regulatory requirement.

Do your Directors know the top threats for financial institutions?  Do they know they are 10 times more likely to be a target of a cyberattack?  Do they know what policies and programs the credit union is required to have in place to protect confidential assets and information systems?  What security and controls should be in place?

This training session will provide:

• An overview of the Gramm Leach Bliley Act of 1999
• The required policies and programs
• Threats and risks
• Security and controls
