About the Programme

A Digital Risk Management & Cybersecurity Essential Training for Financial Institutions

Introduction

The internet, once hailed as the ultimate invention for communication and borderless business transactions is increasingly becoming a hotbed for bad players as digital platforms become entwined in every part of our daily lives.

With over 5 billion people connected and interacting online daily, the world is now heavily reliant on technology as more devices are connected online, more businesses now rely on technology like never before to deliver their services to consumers in a post-pandemic era.

In today’s data-driven, highly distributed world, companies use digital tools to undertake the very basic of business tasks, to advertise and sell, find new markets, customers, and staff, communicate with customers and suppliers, process financial transactions, amongst others.

It is clear that the Internet brings huge business opportunities and benefits.

This over-reliance on technology means that digital platforms accumulate a lot of sensitive data about us, our transactions, customers, payments, intellectual property amongst others.

There is a great need to manage the risks associated with the collection, analysis, processing, and safe storage of these data and digital platforms in general.

This course provides a clear understanding of the risks associated with utilizing digital platforms to senior managers, board members, C-Suite executives, and other decision-makers. It also provides frameworks on how to successfully manage digital risks.

Who Should Attend:

The course is suitable for Credit Union employees from C-Suite executives to senior managers, board of directors, managing directors, heads of departments, frontline staff, customer service teams, HR departments, compliance teams, entrepreneurs, and business leaders wanting to gain strategic insight and knowledge to create new ventures or develop risk management strategies.

The course is ideal and essential for any Credit Union that wants to safeguard its data, employees, members and other assets from cyber threats through a robust risk management regime.

Credit Unions, banks & financial services, companies in the private sector, entrepreneurs, business owners, SMEs, non-IT professionals, universities, charities, government agencies, and public sector organizations are all encouraged to attend.

    Cybersecurity Case Studies

    Envision Credit Union

    In late August 2021, Envision Credit Union sent a memo out to their customers saying they were “experiencing technical difficulties”. What this memo did not include was the fact that they were in a battle with cyber thieves trying to get a hold of customers’ financial information. In reality, they were the victim of a LockBit 2.0 ransomware attack. Envision serves over 55,000 customers across multiple states and has more than $621 million under management.

    Ardent Credit Union

    It has been reported by CaseyGerry that in June of 2020, an Ardent employee’s email was compromised which gave away customer data. This data, such as names, driver license numbers, and social security numbers are all incredibly value assets on the dark web and are traded at an extremely high rate and price. Ardent has more than 85,000 ATM machines—potentially exposing thousands of their customers or other financial institution customers who were just using their ATMs. This is such a big deal if an ATM’s data was breached because it is not always confined to customers of the ATM operator. Even if your data was breached, Ardent may not even be able to tell you.

    BECU – A Case of Proactive Cybersecurity

    While it is not limited to one event, Boeing Employees Credit Union has seen a wave of pandemic-related scams targeting their 1.28 million customers this year. With over $26.8 billion in assets, BECU is one of the nation’s largest credit unions, making it a prime target for social engineering and phishing attacks. BECU has so far been proactive in addressing the thousands of phishing attacks against its members, having sent out multiple correspondences this year informing their members on what to look out for in financial scams. Over the course of the pandemic, pandemic-related financial assistance has been a big topic—a perfect cover in which cyber thieves camouflage their malicious activities. By training their customers on best practices and how to spot phishing attempts, BECU have so far avoided widespread compromise.
