{Hacker Hour} Key Components of Your Annual GLBA Report
The “Gramm-Leach Bliley Act” (GLBA), also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, mandates that financial institutions protect the confidentiality and security customer personally identifiable financial information. Communicating to the Board of Directors what was truly accomplished during the past year in an annual state-of-information-security report allows them to understand and approve how the organization is complying with GLBA. Creating a repeatable, specific GLBA report template will improve the efficiency of the reporting process and relieve some of the stress of aggregating all the data needed for a comprehensive report.

{Hacker Hour} Taking Cybersecurity From the Basement to the Boardroom
Regulators have made it clear that cybersecurity risk management and oversight is ultimately the responsibility of the Board of Directors. In theory, it makes sense for the board to be interested and engaged in what is going on in cybersecurity, however, that is not the case in some situations.
For this Hacker Hour, we went straight to the source. We asked a selection of past Hacker Hour attendees to share the most common issues they struggle with when communicating cybersecurity needs to their Board. The responses fell into three main categories:
- Frequency of FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment completion and utilization of risk assessment data.
- Information that should be provided to the Board on a consistent basis.
- Tips for engaging and educating the Board.
Join this month's Hacker Hour as we discuss how to boost cybersecurity from its hiding spot in the basement to a consistent topic in the boardroom.
