The FDIC’s Winter 2015 Supervisory Insights includes an article on framework for cybersecurity.  With cybersecurity being a focus for both the NCUA and the DFI in 2016 exams, along with the risks associated with cyber threats, the article is a good read for credit unions (even if it is published by the competition).

The article describes the evolving cyber threat landscape and the U.S. government’s response to enhance the security and resilience of the nation’s critical infrastructure sectors. It continues with how components of financial institutions’ information security programs, including corporate governance, security awareness training, and patch-management programs should be enhanced to address cybersecurity risks.  The article also provides a number of resources that the credit union can use in developing or improving its cybersecurity program.

The NCUA has also published a Cyber Security Resources Page, which provides links to a number of resources available to the credit union.
