Online bank fraud has been described as epidemic, with numbers that are staggering -- it's estimated that U.S. banks lose $1.5 billion to phishing attacks annually. Consider also that mobile devices are now ubiquitous and hackers are getting ever-more sophisticated in their ability to gain access to sensitive data and it's clear that there is a need for proactive IT security offense and defense to stop attacks including phishing, malware, coordinated denial of service attacks, hacktivist breeches and more. The threats to the banking sector are multiple and significant -- both financially and reputationally. Today's bank customer is rightfully concerned about online banking fraud and studies show that the majority of customers would change banks if they became a victim of fraud at their current institution. Security breeches not only cost significant dollars, but they also destroy erode consumer trust. Being proactive is key.

The school uses a mix of lecture, small group discussions and interactive computer labs. The hands-on, computer-based simulation labs will allow you to explore penetration and vulnerability testing, security attacks, early detection of data breeches and more. You'll spend the week diving deep with IT security experts and knowledgeable colleagues who will become a network to call upon for years to come.

PROGRAM OF STUDY

To give attendees the best learning experience possible this program has limited enrollment to allow for a truly hands-on lab experience; the week is packed with real world information about the latest in IT security and information assurance -- practical information that will help you stay a step ahead of those who'd do your organization harm. The school has been divided into two core areas of study – the business of banking and information technology security.
