As the risk of data breach and fraud looms large in the credit union industry, cybersecurity and resilience are becoming an increasing focus in the operations of credit unions and their core processing providers.

In response to the FFIEC and examining body’s expectation for each credit union’s senior management team and board of directors to understand their institution’s inherent cybersecurity risk, CU*Answers has produced a variety of educational materials to help guide a credit unions on the basics and terminology of cybersecurity.

The video and other educational materials are being offered free not only to credit unions within the CU*Answers network, but to any financial institution in the country that wants to take advantage of this opportunity. All materials are available at their website, and credit unions can also order a DVD of the educational video.

• Information Security Program for Credit Unions
• Acceptable User Policy Template for Credit Unions
• CU*Answers Cybersecurity Policy
