Identifying the Threats From Within

Despite all of the focus on the latest breaches, sometimes the data isn’t manipulated by some evil cybercriminal and the crime hits a little closer to home. This summer CU Times reported on a former credit union manager who stole $2 million over 13 years by simply putting cash in her purse from the vault and making it look like the money was on deposit at a correspondent bank. In another instance, a loan officer stole $118 million by boosting friends’ loan amounts and just taking it from their deposit accounts. Join this live hot button panel and discover the steps credit unions need to take to protect their information and assets from internal attacks.
