Join us for a one-day seminar on Security Risk Management. Topics include:

Artificial Intelligence: AI is revolutionizing the banking industry, shaping the future of financial services. We will explore the imperative of staying current with AI advancements to remain competitive in the next five years. Delve into the rapidly evolving landscape where criminals leverage AI, gaining valuable insights into their tactics. Discover cutting-edge solutions that transcend traditional machine learning, empowering you to detect and combat fraud more effectively.

Security Demystified: Navigating the Top 25 Frequently Asked Questions: In this session, we will address the most commonly asked questions by security officers. Delve into the essential responsibilities outlined in implementing regulations mandated by various regulators. Gain insights into the often-overlooked aspect of your job description - "other duties as assigned" - and how it can expand your security responsibilities. Discover solutions to practical issues like camera placement, the necessity of monitors in break rooms, and the optimal timing for alarm activation during or after a bank robbery. Uncover the truth about commonly debated topics, such as the use of dummy cameras and the limited scope of time locks. Learn how, with experience, your role may evolve to include managing building access systems, ID badges, and the crucial aspect of building a relationship with law enforcement. This session aims to provide answers to questions you've likely encountered countless times. Whether you're new to security or a seasoned officer, this program is tailored to meet your needs. For those just starting, gain invaluable insights into the intricacies of your role. Seasoned professionals will benefit from a timely review of current security practices.
Focus Groups and Case Studies: Learn vital new skills and insights in educating your staff to report their gut feelings when something might be wrong. If you establish the proper framework, your staff will report what they feel is wrong. There are so many opportunities for the Security Manager to make inappropriate decisions, particularly during a crisis event. Making effective, critical decisions requires education, training, and experience – and it’s the experience part that is the most difficult to acquire.
Conducting a Physical Security Review and Assessment: This session will provide you with a recipe on how to conduct your annual security review. No longer can you just use a checklist to determine if your financial institution is safe. We will instruct you on how to think like a criminal to protect your assets, information, and people. Today, the criminal world attacks your institution via computer, accountholders, and social engineering ploys. Your annual review should find or correct problems with physical security, robbery procedures, and staff training.
