Breaking Into Banking

CivITas Bank Solutions and Bankers’ Bank of the West have received positive feedback for providing a “banking-centric” workshop for information security & technology professionals, so we are very excited to announce that we have solidified our dates, and putting together an incredible educational lineup. Whether you are an experienced financial IT professional, or new to the industry, our lessons are geared to benefit a broad range of levels.

 

October 4th - 6th, 2023 Breaking Into Banking - Getting Technology and Security Professionals Involved

  • Meant for technology and security professionals in community banking who want to expand their knowledge about banking and how their roles fit into the big picture.
  • The $475.00 registration fee will cover the 2.5 day workshop with many topics and exercises on how IT and IS are incorporated into banking and how technology and security professionals can better understand their bank and give themselves great opportunities. 
  •  This will be an interactive workshop that will have limited seats so that there can be significant one-on-one and discussion time among the participants.
  •  A project will be completed during the workshop that can be brought back to the bank as a deliverable - some data gathering will need to be done before the workshop
  •  All meals will be provided and an evening movie on the second day
  •  Workshop will operate under Chatham House rules so that there can be open discussion.
