What unique challenges and regulatory requirements credit unions face
How to move from a reactive to proactive risk management strategy
More than 139 million Americans rely on the credit union system, according to a June 2024 report by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA)*. To help reduce the tempting target this presents to attackers, NCUA drafted cybersecurity standards for member institutions in 2023, including a new requirement for federally-insured credit unions to report any potential security incident within 72 hours. In just the first 8 months after this change, almost 900 incidents were reported. With nearly endless sources of advice and guidance to review, how can the teams securing these organizations identify their top priorities to stay safe?
Rather than checking the box one requirement at a time, building a successful strategy depends on an integrated approach. Compliance requirements need to be paired with risk management best practices from assessment and monitoring to incident response.
