Cybersecurity Frameworks for Credit Unions – What Should You Choose?

A cybersecurity framework is vital for creating a resilient and secure environment that protects the credit union and its members from cyber threats. In the event of a cyber incident, having a framework in place ensures that your institution has all of the right elements in place to minimize the threat of a cyber attack, as well as ensure the right people, processes, and technology are in place.

The NCUA also requires credit unions to leverage a framework to maintain robust cybersecurity practices. With the FFIEC CAT sunsetting and the NCUA ACET quickly becoming outdated, what else can your credit union leverage?

This session will review the alternative frameworks that you can utilize, including the pros and cons of the NCUA ACET, NIST Framework, the CRI Profile, and the CIS Controls.
