GSB – Managing Your Managed Service Provider: 12 Questions to Ask Your MSP

Many organizations leverage a Managed Service Provider (MSP) to manage their IT infrastructure, often providing more expertise while saving some cost. But when it comes to protecting data, the term “cybersecurity” can mean different things to different organizations. The goals of Information Technology (convenience and availability) are far different than the goals of Information Security (protection and loss prevention).

This session will cover the gamut of areas to consider, including:

  • Information Technology vs. Information Security
  • Types of Managed Services Providers
  • Traditional Vendor Management of MSPs
  • Modern Vendor Management of MSPs
  • Characteristics of a Good MSP Partnership
  • Questions to ask before hiring an MSP

Target Audience: Information security officers, IT managers, and risk officers

Presenter: Kip Bolstad — SBS CyberSecurity

GSB – The Future of Cybersecurity: Trends You Should Know and Monitor (Threats and Controls)

The world of technology is very different today than it was just five years ago. From the technologies we use (cloud computing) to the threats we face (Ransomware, BEC) to the way we protect our data (MFA, Zero Trust), the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve rapidly. It’s highly likely that we’ll look back five years from now and talk about how different our technologies and protections are today compared to back then.

In this session, we’ll discuss the continued evolution and trends in cybersecurity we believe are likely to occur in the next few years, including:

  • Cloud Computing Adoption
  • Continued reliance on Vendors (Vendor Management)
  • Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
  • Advanced Cybersecurity Controls (Zero Trust, Behavioral Analytics, Automation, Threat Hunting)
  • Future/Evolving Threats
  • Customer Adoption of Technologies

Target Audience: Information security officer, IT manager, and risk officer

Presenter: John Helland — SBS CyberSecurity

GSB – Digital Banking School

Banking continues to evolve — and as consumer preferences have moved from lobby to service multi-channel, multi-touch interactions, the demand for digital banking services has grown exponentially.

This shift — plus pressure from new and non-traditional competitors for all types of financial services — has led to an entirely new banking landscape. To remain competitive today — and viable tomorrow — community banks need to devote attention, staffing and financial resources to innovation, digital product mix, online customer engagement, technological advances, vendor partnerships and more.

GSB’s Digital Banking School is the first school of its kind — focused exclusively on demystifying these sometimes-intimidating topics — to help community banks move into and/or grow in the digital banking space.

This immersive experience will showcase the key elements of a bank’s effective digital strategy and will be led by industry thought leaders who are experts in digital banking and innovation.

What You’ll Gain

  • Defining the Game
  • Get off the Sidelines — Why Digital Banking?
  • Which Version Do You Want to Play?
  • Create Your Team — The People Factor in Digital Banking
  • What Equipment Do You Need?
  • Building the Foundation to Help You Achieve Digital Banking Success
  • Promoting Your Digital Bank and Building Your Brand
  • Technology & Risk: Cybersecurity Challenges

Who Should Attend

Given the scope of all that’s involved in digital banking, we encourage broad participation across all various areas of the bank — and that’s why we’ve priced this school with a single, affordable per-bank fee. We encourage community bank CEOs to attend, along with leadership teams from operations, retail strategy, lending, business development, marketing, technology, project management, cybersecurity and compliance. All will benefit from the program and be better positioned to make the important shifts that drive digital banking success.

When: April 3–27, 2023

Program Fee: $3,300/bank

Security Officer Workshop

The 2023 WBA Security Officer Workshop will be offered in a hybrid format this year. You have the option to attend in person at Glacier Canyon Lodge in Wisconsin Dells or attend virtually via livestream.

Bank Security Officers are responsible for supervising the security program which must address five broad areas: physical security, personnel security, information security, crime prevention and detection, and investigations. This is changing!

Banking has evolved into using more technology for customer interaction which is changing the interpretation of the Security Officer role as well as their focus on bank security.

New questions are constantly cropping up: How are new machines affecting your branch layout and the overall safety of your people? How are personal devices affecting your front line staff’s interactions with customers? Although security is the main focus, what other duties should a security officer be familiar with?

Join us for this full day session that delves into the Security Officer role in modern banking.

Who Should Attend:
This full day workshop is for anyone that is responsible for or interested in Bank Security, including but not limited too Security Officers, Cashiers, Training Officers, Branch Managers, HR Managers, Compliance Officers or anyone that is face to face with customers on a daily basis.

Registration:
The registration fee of $175 includes program registration, instruction and materials, refreshment breaks and lunch for those on-sight. A recording will also be avalible once this session has offically ended.

Refund Policy:
A refund, less a $25 administrative fee, is provided for cancellations requested on or before March 17th.
