Event Synopsis:

Cloud computing services continue to proliferate in today’s ever-evolving technological landscape. Many financial institutions, including credit unions are beginning to mover their data to the cloud. Doing so raises a number of questions and recently, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) stepped in and issued guidance to help minimize the potential pitfalls. The guidance addresses privacy and security concerns that credit unions needs to be aware of to minimize data breeches and security threats.

The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders to help credit unions and financial institutions understand the new guidance. The speakers will share their opinions in a two-hour Live Webcast and will also be available to answer your questions during the Q&A session.
