The Virtual Cyber Security Summit is in One Week

It’s not too late to register for the Virtual Cyber Security Summit on October 24, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET. This virtual event is designed to empower credit union employees with the essential knowledge and skills required to effectively identify, prevent, and respond to cybersecurity threats. Our goal is to foster a cyber-aware culture within credit unions, promoting active security measures and robust risk mitigation strategies to safeguard sensitive financial data and invaluable customer information.
