• Michael LaJoice, a former employee of Clarkston Brandon Community Credit Union in Clarkston, Mich., pleaded guilty to the charge of bank fraud and was sentenced to 11 years in prison, three years' supervised release and was ordered to pay more than $17.7 million in restitution.
• Brittney Merisier, a former employee of Space Coast Credit Union in Melbourne, Fla., consented to a prohibition order and agreed to comply with all of its terms.

[02:27] Having a leader who can really communicate cyber risks and understand how ready that institution is to deal with cyber events is incredibly important. [05:36] We need to be talking about risk openly. We need to be documenting and really understanding what remediating risk looks like and how you do that strategically. [16:38] Governance, risk, compliance, and adherence to regulatory controls are all being looked at much more closely. You are also seeing other technology that is coming into the fold directly responsible for helping CISOs navigate those waters. [18:28] The reaction from the governing bodies is directly related to the needs of the position. They’re trying to help make sure that we are positioned in a way that gets us the most possibility of success, maturing our postures and protecting the institutions.
