The NCUA will establish a new office focused solely on agency security and continuity, but the move shouldn't have a big impact on the 2014 operating budget. Public Affairs Specialist John Fairbanks told Credit Union Times the new office will be comprised mostly of existing NCUA resources.
"There is an ever-increasing focus on, and need for, stronger security, so we performed an internal review of our security functions," Fairbanks said. "We determined it is best if we consolidated our various security functions under one office instead of the current decentralized model."
The new office will also handle continuity of operations at the NCUA, which is an existing function that addresses all circumstances, including natural disasters and other emergency events, he said. Fairbanks also said the NCUA anticipates naming a director of the new office in the near future.
