Cybersecurity and preparedness will continue to be at the forefront of business leaders’ minds over the next three years, a recent KPMG report found. According to the 2021 CEO Outlook Pulse Survey, cyber security risk emerged as the number one risk, rising from fifth place in August 2020.
“Financial institutions continue to face a growing number of challenges related to cybersecurity brought on by the pandemic,” said Darren Bridges, president of Safe Systems. “Cyber-attacks and cybersecurity failure will continue to be a top threat facing banks and credit unions over the coming years. Our new Information Security Program is designed to help financial institutions identify and address potential weaknesses in real-time, as well as support IT disaster preparedness and regulatory compliance.”
