General Session for ALL GROUPS: What You Need to Know About AI and Banking Today | Jon Waldman, President & Co-Founder, SBS CyberSecurity, Madison, SD

Session Description: The use of Artificial Intelligence over the next few years is poised to revolutionize not only our society as a whole, but the banking industry in particular. In this keynote, Jon will explore the potential of AI for financial institutions, talk about what AI is and what AI is not, and help you understand why your institution SHOULD be looking at AI as a tool to create efficiencies and increase productivity at your organization.

2:00 - 4:00 Breakout Session - Technology: CRI Profile - Dive into the Deep End
  • Jon Waldman, President & Co-Founder, SBS CyberSecurity
  • Session Description: Are you looking at CRI profile but still wondering if this is the next right cyber framework for you? Are you flirting with both NIST CSF and CRI Profile, but wondering which one to dance with? Let’s dig into CRI during this session together and uncover the details of CRI and how to best deploy this framework for your institution. We’ll also talk about transitioning from FFIEC CAT to CRI and how CRI stacks up to NIST CSF. 
  • Hot Topic Lightning Round: We’re going to do something a little different with this session. Rather than 1 broad topic that we break down, we’re going to cover as many of the following topics as we have time to discuss amongst ourselves. Jon will start by allowing you to vote on which of these topics we start with and prioritize, and we’ll cover the fundamentals and talk about what banks are or should be doing/thinking about doing regarding the following topics: Quantum Computing; Transition to the Cloud; Data Privacy; Fintech; Zero Trust; Ransomware; Regulatory shake-ups; and more!
