During The Bank Summit 2014, Peter Bamber, CISA, CRISC, CISSP, Vice President, Information Security Consulting Services, for Security Management Partners will discuss what is being learned from the FFIEC pilot program and provide an update on what financial institutions can do to protect their organizations from the threat of cyber-attacks. Bamber will highlight the aims of the program including risk management, cybersecurity controls, cyber incident management, vendor risk management, service provider oversight and understanding threat intelligence. In addition, Bamber will explain how the program is helping regulators make risk-informed decisions that will enhance the effectiveness of supervisory programs, guidance and examiner training.
