Cybersecurity Is More Than IT: Why You Are the First Line of Defense
Cybersecurity isn’t just a collection of tools, software, and hardware—it’s a team sport. While credit unions invest heavily in advanced protections, the most important security layer will always be their people. In this session, Steve Koinm from Pure IT will explain how every employee plays a critical role in safeguarding member information, recognizing threats, and strengthening security from the inside out. You’ll learn practical ways to build a cyber-aware culture and work together to protect your members, your credit union, and yourself.
