ARLINGTON, Va. – A “live hack” demonstration will be part of the just-announced agenda for the NASCUS/CUNA Cybersecurity Symposium set for August.
Also on tap: a top U.S. Secret Service cybercrime expert will be a presenter, and vulnerabilities in the payments system will be discussed, including Apple Pay and chip and PIN.
The two-day symposium, scheduled for Aug. 24-25 in Denver, will include 13 hours of educational presentations, panel discussions, demonstrations and group discussion. More than 10 experts in cybersecurity will make presentations and lead discussions with the group, the two organizations said.
“This entire symposium is designed to help credit union regulators and leaders better understand the strengths and vulnerabilities of the credit union system's cybersecurity positioning, and help shape the policy of security expectations going forward,” said NASCUS President and CEO Lucy Ito. “Our first symposium in 2014 was extraordinarily successful in reaching those goals – this year’s ambitious program builds on the momentum achieved last year.”
The meeting will be hosted by cybersecurity expert Tom Schauer, CEO and chief client experience officer for information security consultants Trust CC, Seattle. Sessions will include:
- A live illustration of a computer/network hacking demonstrated by Schauer
- A presentation by U.S. Secret Service Deputy Assistant Director Robert Novy on law enforcement’s view of cybercrime
- An overview of what a credit union’s directors should know about cybersecurity by Mark Berman of Horsetail Technologies
- An overview of vulnerabilities in the payments system offered by Jay Isaacson of CUNA Mutual Group
- A panel discussion on what a cybersecurity exam should look like, featuring regulators John Kolhoff of the Michigan Office of Credit Unions and Tim Segerson of NCUA
In addition, the program will feature a two-hour presentation by NCUA’s Segerson on industry expectations for the adoption of the coming FFIEC cyber-assessment tool.
Registration for the program is $675 for members of NASCUS or CUNA, as well as clients of TrustCC. Non-NASCUS, CUNA, Trust CC members/clients pay $775; representatives from non-credit union entities pay $875.
