What we’ll Cover
The same agenda runs in every city. Hands-on with the platform, peer conversation, and 1 CE credit for attendance.
1 CE credit included Awarded on completion of the training sessions.
Networking
Sit-down lunch with the DefenseStorm team and your peers from neighboring institutions. We kick off with introductions and what to expect from the afternoon.
Session 01 · cyber · thought leadership
Cyber
The press writes about the big names. DefenseStorm sees a different story. This session is a plain read on what's actually hitting community FIs right now — the quiet patterns, tactics, and incidents that never make headlines but are doing real damage today. Then a look at what comes next: as MYTHOS-class tools mature, autonomous offensive AI will compress the window between vulnerability disclosure and active exploitation. You'll leave with a clearer picture of what's happening at institutions your size today, why traditional patch cadence and scan-based programs are losing ground, and what FI security leaders should be doing now to be ready for what's coming — Monday-morning actionable, without the hype.
Session 02 · Cyber · show & tell
Cyber
Pull back the curtain on what the CTI team is now able to do that they couldn't 12 months ago: scale of hunts, depth of context, faster correlations. Analysts still in the loop — AI and automation are the force multipliers.
Session 03 · RISK & GOVERNANCE · THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
RISK & GOVERNANCE
The annual risk assessment. The quarterly committee. The point-in-time control review. None of it moves at the speed community FIs are now operating at — and examiners are starting to notice. Good governance doesn't slow people down; it makes the right decision the easy one. This session lays out how to redesign the second line of defense for an era when business won't wait — where the operating rhythm is continuous, controls are monitored in real time, habits beat heroics, and the second line catches drift before it's exploited. The governance model your institution actually needs.
SESSION 04 · RISK & GOVERNANCE · FUTURE / ROADMAP
RISK & GOVERNANCE
What if your risk assessment was never stale? What if every control deficiency and every threat hitting your environment updated your risk assessment and framework self-assessments? This is an early look at DefenseStorm Insights — our work to connect threat intelligence, continuous control monitoring, and risk assessment into a single, always-current view of cyber risk built for community FIs. You'll see the prototypes, hear where we're heading on threat-informed risk and continuous control monitoring, and have a chance to weigh in on what the second line of defense actually needs from a Built for Banking risk platform.
Bring your laptop. We'll work through the platform together — tuning detections, building reports, navigating audits.
