KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla.–The National Credit Union Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (NCU-ISAO) said it will hold its inaugural conference Jan. 31 – Feb. 2, 2017 at the Global Situational Awareness Center at NASA/Kennedy Space Center, Fla.
“Bringing together public- and private-sector credit union stakeholders, the NCU-ISAO is advancing cybersecurity at a more rapid pace through information sharing, coordinated response and adoption of best practice and education to operationalize credit union-specific cyber resilience,” according to the organization.
The NCU-ISAO, which launched in August 2016, said its mission is to advance CU cyber resilience.
"This is the first cybersecurity conference completely dedicated to address the cybersecurity issues and challenges for the nation’s credit unions,” said Gene Fredriksen, executive director/CEO of the NCU-ISAO. “We are incredibly excited to have the opportunity to hold the NCU-ISAO’s inaugural conference at our headquarters, the Global Situational Awareness Center at NASA/Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Serving as the only operational and threat intelligence information sharing organization dedicated wholly to credit unions, just as credit unions exist to serve the needs of their communities; the NCU-ISAO exists to serve credit unions’ needs in the cybersecurity space. Because the information sharing needs for credit unions encompass more than just cyber threats, the NCU-ISAO supports innovative, member driven initiatives around benchmarking, process improvement, and regulatory strategies."
The organization said the NCU-ISAO Conference agenda provides opportunities for attendees to engage with a defining voice in NCU-ISAO collaborative initiatives, have discussions with decision makers and to support approaches to cyber resilience strategic planning. Agenda sessions include the latest information on cybersecurity threats, technologies, mitigation strategies, the NCU-ISAO Threat Intelligence Information Sharing and Coordinated Response infrastructure, the International Association of Certified ISAOs (IACI), Credit Union Panel Discussions, an Incident Response Table-Top Exercise facilitated by FireEye and the FBI that includes a Cyber Exercise Package for attendees to use in their credit unions and information regarding the “Credit Union Cybersecurity Specialist (CCSC) Training and Certification.” A cybersecurity technology expo area is also available for attendees.
