Deepfake technology has become so accessible that threat actors need only 10 to 30 seconds of audio and a $5 monthly subscription to convincingly impersonate executives, bypass authentication, and trick employees into catastrophic decisions. Credit unions face record ransomware attacks while most lack AI governance policies to address emerging threats.
In this episode of Grow Your Credit Union, host Joshua Barclay welcomes sponsored guest Brian Hinze, President & CEO at NCU-ISAO, along with co-host Oto Ricardo, Director of Information Security and Cyber Risk at Advia Credit Union, to explore:
- Why ransomware attacks hit record levels despite preparedness efforts
- How credit unions approach AI governance policies
- What deepfake threats mean for credit union security
- How NCU-ISAO supports credit unions through community and collaboration
