Philadelphia,
PA (July 23, 2019) –
Katie
Stewart of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon
University to speak about cyber resiliency lessons financial institutions can
learn from the defense industry.
Leading banking
industry experts will share their experiences regarding LIBOR risk management,
disruption, and CECL, as well as their views on changes to the current credit
cycle at RMA’s Annual Risk Management Conference. The conference will be held
at the Hyatt Regency, New Orleans, La., October 27-29, 2019.
Katie Stewart, a senior member of the technical staff
within the cybersecurity-focused CERT Division® at SEI, will be a
keynote speaker. With the needs of financial institution risk managers in mind,
she will outline the requirements that help guide the Department of Defense’s
mission to successfully defend and protect against cyber attacks—and to ensure
cyber readiness and operational resilience.
The conference
will also feature sessions on topics such as artificial intelligence;
reputation risk; mergers and acquisitions; and third-party risk management.
"Managing
inherent risks in third-party relationships has become important, as vendors can
unwittingly provide avenues for cyber attacks and engage in other conduct
giving rise to credit risk to financial institutions," said RMA Director
of Member Relations Bill Loftus.
