John McNair, CBA President & CEO shared, “As an attendee of CBA’s Cyber Security program, my overall knowledge and awareness of the challenges for community banks was greatly increased. The presenters covered many crucial areas and provided resources for attendees to use to help their respective institutions. As the President and CEO of the CBA, I felt it was important for me to attend as a student to develop a greater understanding of the needs of CBA’s member banks. A major take away from me came from Dave Moorman, President of CBA partner Novatech. Dave commented that Bank of America spends roughly 1.5% of gross revenues on Cyber Security. I believe this is an important statistic for community bankers to consider moving forward. Great job by Kristi Greer to develop the program and Becky Soto for her help in facilitating!”
