Lizeth GeorgeOctober is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates (LSCU & Affiliates) is here to protect you online as threats continue to affect technology and confidential data.
The National Credit Union Administration’s (NCUA) ACET (Automated Cybersecurity Evaluation Toolbox) application is a tool that lets credit unions of all sizes identify and determine their levels of cybersecurity preparedness over time.
This toolbox will help your credit union to:
- Identify areas of risk proactively, before a situation arises
- Determine the depth of cyber risk your institution is exposed to
- Discover the institution’s preparedness to deal with unprecedented cyber threats
- Make decisions about security processes and programs based on the true nature of existing risk
- Use a measurable and repeatable process to assess risk preparedness over time
- Understand, address, and mitigate cybersecurity risks
