Educating employees and customers about the attacks.
Having an incident response plan in place.
Applying multiple checkpoints for big transactions.
More: The March edition of Independent Banker also features articles on ICBA’s new chairman, marketing personalization, the ISO 20022 transition, disaster recovery plans, and more.
