Highlights from Last Week's Cyber Risk Summit

Our annual Cyber Risk summit was held in October this year due to the hurricane season.  The summit allowed our bankers to have roundtable discussions around business continuity stories, lessons and ‘wish we had’ tools because of the hurricanes that have affected our banks recently.  “What an awesome program full of subject matter, networking and resources that our IT professionals can use to support the prevention of cyber fraud. We are thankful to serve our industry with ongoing training that increases awareness,” said Kristi Greer, CBA of GA.

The summit highlights & lessons learned include:

• Cyber security is every banker’s job.
• A key principle of governance includes board and senior management setting the tone from the top.
• Bankers should remain vigilant and implement measures to protect data at every point of contact. 
• It is important to maintain a culture of cyber awareness and security.
• Enabling multi-factor authentication is a must.
• How does AI support or harm Cybersecurity.
• Participants examined AI policy examples to consider implementing.
• Regulators from each agency shared the latest Hot Topics.
• Lessons from Cyber Risk Insurance implications.
• Discovered why and how of building a succession plans for the ISO role.
• Communicating fundamentals in response to an incident.
• And more. 

This education opportunity continues to provide valuable content and tools to support our industry.  We would like to thank our sponsors for their support.
