NEW CYBERSECURITY TABLETOP EXERCISE FOR CREDIT UNIONS >$250m IN ASSETS

ARLINGTON, Va., and MADISON, Wis. (August 19, 2020) – NASCUS and CUNA are now accepting registration for Cybersecurity Response Exercise for credit unions greater than $250M webinar, scheduled for August 28 from 11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. CT. During this tabletop exercise, executive-level credit union professionals and examiners will work through a plausible, simulated cybersecurity event. Credit union participants will be testing their current processes and procedures while credit union examiners will be determining how they would identify, analyze and fine-tune their supervisory approach.

Participants will receive a confidential After Action Report (AAR) that shares findings to highlight opportunities for improving general readiness.

Attendees will:

• Test their ability to mitigate a cyber disruption using current cybersecurity measures
• Detect areas for improvement in cybersecurity preparedness
• Identify opportunities for cooperation between credit unions and credit union examiners

This event is co-delivered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the National Association of State Credit Union Supervisors and Credit Union National Association.
