WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30

7:00 - 8:00 a.m. | Exhibitor Setup

7:30 - 8:00 a.m. | Registration & Continental Breakfast

8:00 a.m. | Welcome & Opening Session - Jon Waldman, CISA, CRISC, Partner-Chief People Officer, President, SBS Institute | SBS CyberSecurity - Madison, SD | Assumed-Breach Testing: Why You Should Test as if a Hacker was Already in Your Network | On average, it takes an organization 287 days to detect and contain a data breach. Hackers today are very good at breaking into networks and staying undetected for long periods of time before executing their ultimate objectives. When a cyber incident inevitably occurs, your best bet is to assume your network is compromised and act accordingly, rather than assume you’re not compromised and carry on like normal. Assumed-Breach Testing simulates the initial foothold an attacker might obtain, allowing for more in-depth testing and provides a unique perspective of the organization’s readiness for a real-world breach. Assumed-Breach Testing helps answer the question of “what can happen if we were breached?”

8:45 a.m. | William D. Anderson, Chief Operating Officer and EOS(R) Integrator | J. Michael Consulting - Atlanta, GA | This Isn't Going to End Well: Denial and Data and Digital Transformation in Community Banks | Community Banks are in an uncomfortable and perilous position: customers expect digital and banking experiences that mirror other consumer experiences they have every day and the reality that providing those experiences is costly, complex, and not easily monetized. Community banks also sit on mountains of data that are being underused, at best, to personalize the customer's digital experience. This session will explore common leadership objections to way and digital investments, discuss how to approach these investments in a thoughtful way, and offer a potential roadmap for community banks to incrementally invest in and realize value from data and digital transformation.
