Cyber Security WorkshopDATE March 8, 2016: Denver, CO
March 10, 2016: Phoenix, AZ
TIME 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
DESCRIPTION Cyber security attacks on financial institutions have become exceedingly more frequent, sophisticated, and targeted. You can chalk this up to the high value that cyber criminals place on the personal and financial data that this particular industry stores and transmits. Small and mid-sized credit unions have fallen increasingly under attack due to their perception as “softer” targets. Consequently, the FFIEC has stepped up their focus on prevention, monitoring, testing, and resilience. Is your credit union adequately prepared for an attack or even your next audit?
The workshop will:• Address the most important issues in cyber security that are threatening credit union information systems
and network infrastructure • Help credit unions understand why their data is so valuable to cyber criminals and how they are using it • Educate credit unions on the types of attacks and advanced persistent threats that are being launched
against them • Teach credit unions what areas are under attack and what they need to know to adequately defend
themselves • Review the latest FFIEC guidance on cyber security and cyber resilience, including the NIST framework on
which they are basing their approach • Share proactive strategies and best practices for timely and effective incident response
Additionally, the National Credit Union Administration has been invited to speak on the cyber security self-assessment, guidance and training, as well as 2016 NCUA Examination Focus.
Who Should Attend? IT Management, IT Security Professionals, Operational Technology Professionals,System Administrators, Database Administrators, Data Privacy Specialists, Application Support Personnel, Legal, Human Resources Professionals, Operational Technology Auditors, Compliance Officers, Corporate and Security Professionals. Anyone interested in learning about state of the art security practices and their practical implementation as well as securing their enterprise and its core processes.

You’re Not in the Technology Business.We Are.
Sadly, the burden of maintaining those technologies has taken many institutions away from performing what they do best, helping members. The fact is, most credit unions do not have the resources or the capabilities necessary to properly manage site-premised technology solutions.

With multiple data centers, CUProdigy can manage all of your technology, keeping it updated, backed up, secure, and otherwise running smoothly. Our scale allows us to manage your technology in an affordable, secure, and responsive manner.
