Webinars

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. 
 

Join SBS as we outline a comprehensive and repeatable template that can be used to build your own annual GLBA report. We will walk through the essential report components and troubleshoot common issues.

The FSSCC has released a new cybersecurity framework called the “Cybersecurity Profile.” The Profile is a standards-based tool to help guide financial services institutions in developing and maintaining a cybersecurity risk management program.  The new framework option has people asking a lot of questions:

• How is it different than the Cybersecurity Assessment Tool?
• Will it be used by US regulators?
• Is it more efficient than the other frameworks on the market today?

Join SBS as we review the framework and provide answers to these and other common questions.

With the new year quickly approaching, it's time to start looking forward to what will be coming our way in the world of cybersecurity. Join SBS as we countdown the top cybersecurity trends to watch in 2019.

While most horror stories are works of fiction designed to keep you up at night, the horror stories we will be sharing are real-life cybersecurity events with outcomes that will haunt your dreams if you aren't properly prepared. Join SBS, if you dare, as we wander deep into the dark and scary corners of cybersecurity, full of data loss, reputational damage, business closing, and financial devastation. We will share a variety of cybersecurity horror stories and what could have been done to prevent the unfortunate outcomes. 

We are bringing it back!  Last year, as part of our celebration of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, SBS hosted a special Hacker Hour that featured a virtual security awareness round table.  We focused the discussion on building a stronger security culture in your organization. In the end, over 300 registrants shared ideas that we put into a free downloadable guide called "34 Unique Ideas to Create a Culture of Cybersecurity."

We would like to invite you to join us for this open discussion as we discover new security awareness ideas and techniques that are helping organizations create a stronger security culture.  An updated download documenting the 2018 ideas for creating a culture of cybersecurity will be shared following the webinar.

A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is the first and most important step to creating an effective Business Continuity Plan, yet many organizations skip or skim through it. Join SBS as we examine the essential components of a simple, but powerful, BIA and discuss how your table top testing program can be used to verify that your BIA is sufficient.

The heavy adoption of the FFIEC CAT Tool, the release of the INTREX examination procedures, and the unrelenting focus on cybersecurity have caused financial institutions to be a little more anxious about their upcoming IT examinations. 

Fortunately, SBS works with institutions in nearly every state, so we have seen a very wide, but consistent, set of examination findings that your financial institution should know about.

Join this webinar as we discuss our experience and share some ideas of what you can do to better position your institution for a successful IT examination.

Every year SBS send its finest to Las Vegas to the annual DEF CON convention, which is one of the oldest and largest hacker conventions around. These annual conferences feature presentations by leading ethical hackers, FBI, and NSA agents. Join this special edition hacker hour as we discuss what we experienced at 2018 DEF CON, and what could impact you in the near future.

Topics will include:
- Kids hacking voting machines
- Social engineering village
- New way of accessing online banking data using OFX 
- Bypassing two-factor authentication by hacking voicemail
- NSA warnings

According to our research, the development of a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is one of the most commonly missed baseline statements in the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool. Many organizations struggle to find the value in a DFD and have a hard time getting started.

Join SBS as we discuss the guidance around DFDs and walk through examples of how you can create a DFD for your organization - and get value from it.

NOTE: Unfortunately, we had technical difficulty with the video recording of the live Hacker Hour. A CyberByte video of the topic was recorded in its place.

Research shows that 96% of the internet is not accessible by search engines like Google or Yahoo, and that number is growing at a much faster rate than the surface web. What does that mean for us? 

Join SBS as we get caught up with what is going on in the dark web. We will discuss how the dark web started, who uses it, and why everyone should be aware of what's lurking in it.

It has been seven years since the term "Corporate Account Take Over" or CATO took the industry by surprise and challenged financial institutions to do more to help secure their small business customers. Is CATO still happening today? You bet it is. 

Join SBS as we review guidance centered on CATO and walk through recent types of CATO that are challenging financial institutions.

According to the latest Verizon Data Breach Report, there were over 53,000 security incidents and 2,200 registered data breaches in 2017, which is an increase of about 20% from the year prior.

The increased probability of your organization experiencing a cyber incident enhances the need to create and maintain an incident response plan that can detect, contain, and eliminate the issue, then fully recover business operations. All while minimizing the overall reputational and financial damage to the company.

Join SBS for this free webinar in which we will discuss best practices to write and test your incident response plan.  We will also walk through some common scenarios that should be considered in your plan.

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.

Brian Krebs recently published an article sounding the alarm on security practices of third-party relationships that financial institutions depend on. As we all know vendor management is a challenge, and Krebs covers some great examples of how poor practices of your vendors can affect your security program, and potentially your reputation.

• Big Beach Review, including Equifax's updated numbers
• Additional real-world examples of questionable vendor practices
