Still worrying about Avian Flu? Probably not as much as you were a few years ago, when warnings of a pandemic triggered by the H1N1 (bird flu) virus exploded in the media, triggering a boomlet in the sale of hand sanitizers, sterile gloves and disaster planning advice. But the threats posed by pandemics and a range of other potential disasters — terrorist attacks, cyber- crime and violent storms among them – loom as large as ever for financial institutions, immense if not imminent. These threats may be temporarily out of sight, but they shouldn’t be out of mind. The United Nations has identified a mutant strain of the bird flu virus (H5N1) that could renew that pandemic threat. Identity thieves, cyber criminals and mortgage fraudsters are becoming more aggressive and more sophisticated, challenging the efforts of law enforcement agencies and financial institutions to keep up with them. Financial industry regulations require you to develop a crisis management and recovery plan; your investors and customers expect you to be able to deploy it.

Join our disaster planning and business continuity specialist, Bill Connors, as he explains the principles of effective crisis management and outlines the strategies and resources you need to develop and implement a program that will help you identify threats, prioritize them and protect your institution from them. Bill’s comprehensive Webinar will:

  • Focus on some of the threats most likely to require planning attention:
    • Pandemics
    • Data security
    • ATM security
    • Robberies – both Internet based and the old-fashioned ones
    • Identity theft, with a focus on SMiShing (also known as smishing) ― the sophisticated technology criminals use to “phish” for the personal information of bank customers
    • Workplace violence
  • Reinforce what you know about disaster planning and help you identify what you don’t know.
  • Show you how to allocate crisis management resources appropriately and effectively.
  • Explain the risk-reward analysis that will help you respond to risks without over-reacting to them.
  • Explain why a crisis recovery plan is every bit as important as a crisis management plan.
