Hacker Hour Webinar Series
The Hacker Hour webinar series provides an interactive and engaging cybersecurity training experience - completely free of charge. We encourage attendees to actively participate in the conversation, ask questions, share ideas, and suggest topics. Additionally, we offer a range of products and services to help alleviate any stress or concerns related to specific cybersecurity issues your organization may be facing.


Artificial intelligence has changed the economics of cybercrime. Attacks that once required hours of research, specialized expertise, and high-value targets can now be launched against small businesses, community bank customers, and local institutions at an unprecedented scale.
Join Peapack Private Bank & Trust CTO John Kowal as he explores how AI is fueling more convincing impersonation scams, accelerating fraud, and creating new risks for banks and their customers. You'll leave with practical insights into what financial institutions should be doing today to prepare for a future where sophisticated attacks are no longer reserved for the largest targets.
