            Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the banking industry, and shaping the future of financial services. In this dynamic session, we will explore the imperative of staying current with AI advancements to remain competitive in the next five years. Delve into this rapidly evolving landscape where criminals leverage AI, gaining valuable insights from their tactics. Discover cutting-edge solutions that transcend traditional machine learning, empowering you to detect and combat fraud more effectively. Join us for an introductory journey into the realm of Artificial Intelligence and its pivotal role in banking.

            Social Engineering
This fast-moving program on preventing losses will focus on the information identity thieves obtain before they call your financial institution and the information they want to get from you. You will learn how criminals target your institution and, specifically, you, when trying to obtain information or financial rewards.  Understand how to question a person so that you can determine if they are your customer or a thief.  Don’t let the criminals socially engineer you into giving them financial information or access to another person’s account.

            Focus Groups and Case Studies
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.  Working within the nation’s military services, in law enforcement, or in emergency management fields will provide that experience. Working in another industry won’t.  This session will provide you with the insight you need to handle unusual situations.
