In our conversations with the over 100+ community banks during the ICBA ThinkTECH we saw time and time again that cybersecurity governance is complicated, labor-intensive, and leaves community bankers feeling overwhelmed. As we dove deeper into our discussions we found these three common challenges.

  • User Access Report Reviews from legacy banking applications
  • A lack of Exam and Audit Readiness Status or Scoring
  • A lack of a place to centrally document all of the banking functions and systems the bank is leveraging

When we started the ICBA ThinkTECH, our team at Finosec, had a goal to bring on 5 ICBA banks by 6/30/21, and we are excited that we were able to exceed our goal!

Our team was truly blessed by the investment of time from the ICBA, the Venture Center, the ICBA Selection Committee, and all of the banks that attended the ThinkTECH
