The next great crisis for the banking industry may well be cybersecurity in the view of Mark Quandahl, director of the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance. Quandahl delivered his comments at the annual conference of the Nebraska Independent Community Bankers last month in Lincoln. The program, "Executive Leadership on Cybersecurity" was put together with support from the Conference of State Bank Supervisors. Philip Hinkle, director of IT security examinations for the Texas Department of Banking, spent much of his presentation on corporate account takeovers and the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's Cybersecurity (FFIEC) Assessment Tool. Kelly Lammers, deputy director of the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance, called the FFIEC's guide "a great tool." In his presentation, he highlighted a description of the risk management process from the Conference of State Bank Supervisors. Enhanced management oversight practices should be implemented, Lammers advised.
