A message from Jim Beveridge

The past couple of years have been challenging for us all, particularly for those of us in the financial services industry, as we have adapted to "new normals" and faced increasing threats across the nation – and the world! It is increasingly essential that you and your security team have met annual training requirements and that your bank's overall security program is built to address today's wide range of physical and virtual threats. These are the objectives we set out to accomplish when we assembled an A-Team of experts and professional speakers for you at our 29th Annual Virtual Bank Security Conference this October. To help mitigate the high cost of travel and ensure the continued safety of all attendees, our conference will be remote again this year. We will also provide 90 days of archived access for your team members who need the training but can't attend the live-streaming sessions.

We are excited to bring you another comprehensive program delivered by an outstanding team of talented speakers who are recognized leaders in their respective fields. This year's presenters include active and retired law enforcement personnel from the FBI, DEA, the Houston Police Department, and the Michigan State Police, along with security leaders in the private sector. Our informative presentations range from workplace violence threat assessments and violence de-escalation strategies to bank robbery prevention, investigations, and insider threats.

Just a few of the takeaways include:

How to effectively leverage available open-source, online resources to investigate fraud and other crimes
Understanding how workplace violence threat assessments can help you mitigate and prevent aggression, hostility, and carnage at the office
How Forensic Statement Analysis can help your team distinguish truth from deception in written statements and ultimately identify wrongdoers
The threats posed by insiders – how at-risk employees sometimes provide aid and assistance to criminals targeting your bank for violent take-over robberies and other crimes
...and much more!

You get all this for one low price! So don't miss out on the most trusted bank security training in the industry. Register now!

We look forward to meeting you virtually in October!

ESRM & Converged Security

Are our banking institutions SAFE or SECURE or both? Can you answer that from a Converged Security perspective? In other words, for Physical Security, Information Security, Cyber Security, Fraud, Personnel Security, etc.?

When you built out your (executive and operational) Security metrics dashboard did you include ALL of these areas? Did you include ALL locations? Did you include ALL your supply chain? This session will discuss both why words matter, their critical relationship to scoping a robust Converged Security Metrics program, and most importantly, real metrics solutions you can implement or mature your existing program with....today.

Takeaways

Do I/we have agreement across the enterprise about security and safety definitions, scope and ownership?
Do we have a robust security metrics program, that has converged security in mind?
I need some real live examples of metrics for me to get started or mature my existing security metrics program, help!

Jim McConnell

2:15 PM - 4:30 PM (Eastern)

Forensic Statement Analysis

People often conceal their real message. Understanding the real message requires the listener to calibrate to the subject's communication patterns. A change in that communication pattern may be a clue as to the message's true meaning. For example, the subject may change his/her breathing pattern, speech pattern, word pronunciation, eye movement, handwriting, etc. and that change may signal a change in meaning, a different meaning than the literal meaning of the communication element(s) used.

To understand the true meaning of communication between two people, the speaker and listener must mutually understand each and every communication element of the message. Each must know what was said and why and what wasn't said and why not.

Takeaways:

Knowing what wasn't said may be even more important than what was.
If a person doesn't answer your question, they did.
Every communication element is the result of a decision. There are no mistakes.

Joe Koenig

4:45PM - 5:45 PM (Eastern)

Leadership Lessons Learned Through the FBI

Through story telling of FBI investigations, security officers will hear the lessons learned that are applicable to today's security environment. John shares inside stories from behind the scenes not otherwise shared with the public, detailing high profile cases, such as 9/11, the shooting of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, the Enron collapse, and more. Likewise, you will also hear valuable insights from other investigations never before discussed outside of the FBI. As is often the case with law enforcement situations, you will find this presentation equally informative and frequently entertaining.

Takeaways:

Identify the skills necessary for leadership.
The importance leading by example.
Leverage your skills sets for success.

This presentation references FBI John's books Disorderly Conduct.

Sessions

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (Eastern)

Insider Threat - A Robber Amongst Us

With a rise in violent crime across much of the United States, is your financial institution at risk? When an employee plots, schemes, and betrays the trust of their employer, a bank robbery takeover occurs, the vault is accessed, and innocent victims are traumatized. An investigation into a bank teller turns into the realization that a once highly regarded employee turned into a robbery mastermind that exploited trust into a financial loss of over $100,000.00.

Takeaways

When does your institution stand the greatest chance of being robbed?
What are some early warning signs that an employee may be vulnerable?
How can we, as the financial institution, assist the police in ongoing investigations / long-term investigations?

Sgt. David Helms

11:10 AM - 12:10 PM (Eastern)

The New Security and Bank Robbery Experience

The New Security and Robbery Experience session is a unique, impactful, and extremely effective course that focuses not only on the traditional aspects normally covered in robbery training but approaches them from a highly unique and far more effective perspective. It also covers numerous, non-traditional aspects that are even more critical to true safety, security, and performance than anything that is addressed in a typical robbery course. Some of the areas discussed include; drive-thru robbery, vigilantism, hostage on-site vs off site, TCR's vs cash drawers, robbery vs active shooter, open/close procedures, and much more!

Takeaways

What are some of the non-traditional aspects that are deemed more critical to safety, security, and performance?
What are the key differences between handling a hostage situation on-site versus off-site?
How does the course compare and contrast TCRs (Teller Cash Recyclers) with cash drawers in terms of their impact on safety and security during a robbery?
What specific open/close procedures are covered, and how do they contribute to enhancing safety and security against robberies?
How does "The New Security and Robbery Experience" aim to ensure that participants can effectively apply the knowledge and skills gained in real-world security and robbery situations?

Joe Hileman & Terry Choate

12:20 PM - 1:20 PM (Eastern)

De-Escalation Strategies

In today's society, the likelihood of dealing with an external conflict that could potentially lead to violent consequences seems to be omnipresent. The discussion will focus on a multitude of techniques related to de-escalation mitigation strategies as well as dealing with individuals in crisis. The focus of the discussion will be based on real life examples that are easily relatable to our everyday personal and professional lives. This session will leave attendees feeling empowered to deal with the multiple stages of conflict, people in crisis and become more confident with their own interpersonal communication skills. Key areas that will be covered shall include recognizing anxiety, stages of crisis, non-verbal communication, tone, and communication.

Takeaways

What are the different stages of crisis, and how can we navigate through them effectively?
What are some practical techniques for improving interpersonal communication skills in conflict situations on-site?
How does empowering bank employees to handle conflicts and crisis situations contribute to a more confident and harmonious workplace?

Matt Delaney

2:20 PM - 3:20 PM (Eastern)

Workplace Violence Threat Assessments

Workplace violence occurs often and 25% of incidents go unreported. If no plan of action is put in place, results can end in extreme violence and can be life threatening. The decision to provide banking services with threat assessments and plans of action can ultimately save individual lives and protect the industry. In the session, we will discuss how to identify and report a workplace violence threat. Also, we will discuss the first steps to take in immediate action, followed by how to prepare a threat assessment on an individual.

What can trigger an act of workplace violence and what are the biggest barriers for speaking up about potential threats?
What is a threat assessment and how is it conducted?
Why is an immediate plan of action and threat assessment important to an industry?

Danielle Santucci

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM (Eastern)

DEA & Drug Money Laundering

This session, led by a 9/11 NYC responder, covers DEA aviation assets and surveillance techniques. It will provide an understanding of the DEA's overall mission and how that relates to banking in the areas of assets and money forfeitures, as well as the technologies used for surveilling and support. Additionally, Dillinger provides an overview of Fentanyl, the staggering numbers, and the overdose trends. This connects to money routing from China and Mexico, the patterns of the proceeds, and how significant the banking industry and its processes are in the battle on fentanyl and illicit drug trade overall.

The session reviews:

What is the overall function of the DEA as an agency, and how does that relate to asset and money forfeitures?
What technologies are used by the DEA for surveillance and support?
How does the banking industry play a critical role in fighting the deadly fentanyl crisis in the US?

Kelly Dillinger

4:40 PM - 5:40 PM (Eastern)

Security Awareness Training Isn't Solving the Problem. But this will.

Security awareness is only a simple acknowledgment of various security issues and risks faced and what to do and what not to do in response to them. Using these concepts, you can elevate your employee' experience and change their behavior to the level of "security appreciation" which is not simply an acknowledgment of security issues, but an action-oriented appreciation for the value that security provides. By doing so, you will no longer look at the function of security in the same way. If you use these concepts when training your staff, instead of denying security and thinking that it is an issue of "paranoia" they see it as a necessity that they need and want. Used to train your staff, they will learn:

That security is both a feature and a personal benefit
To dispel societal myths revolving around security
To understand how "all security is personal"
How security is easy, it's good for you, it's empowering and is a personal benefit
How to understand how to effectively communicate security awareness to change behavior

(Three topics included) Bank Robbery Prevention and Response / Active Shooter Awareness and Preparedness / Cybersecurity

10:00 AM - 11:30 AM (Eastern)

Cybersecurity

Why rob a bank when a criminal can steal far more while sitting in front of a computer? Beyond just money, the sensitive personal information of both employees and customers is attractive to the cyber thief. Additionally, remote work technologies like Zoom and webinars have provided cybercriminals with new ways to disrupt business and steal what is yours. Every year millions become victims because they did not know how to protect themselves from cybercrime. By using examples of actual FBI cases, John reveals the ways you are vulnerable to a cyberattack, the threats inherent with remote technologies, and how you can protect yourself.

Key takeaways:

Understand the latest cyber vulnerabilities.
Learn how to avoid becoming a victim.
Understand what to do if a cybercriminal does attack.

This presentation references Iannarelli's books Disorderly Conduct and WTF: Why Teens Fail and What to Fix, a guide to keeping safe on the internet and elsewhere.

John Iannarelli

Note: Agenda includes morning and afternoon breaks, and 1 hour lunch break. Total training time is approximately 6.5 hours.

11:45 AM - 1:15 PM (Eastern)

Active Shooter Awareness and Preparedness

Hear the behind the scenes stories of many of the most recent mass shootings, how they happened, how they were planned, how law enforcement responded, and important clues that could potentially prevent future such tragedies. The presenter has responded to two school shootings and the shooting of Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords. John was also present in Las Vegas when the Mandalay Bay shooting occurred, where he then served as an on-air Law Enforcement consultant for the Fox News Channel, CNN NBC, and other national news programs, giving him inside access to the crime scene. This access, in addition to his having responded to numerous other critical incidents as an FBI Agent and police officer, gives John unique knowledge insights that he shares with his audience.

Key takeaways:

Being able to protect yourself and family should an active shooter situation occur.
Warning indicators to identify those who plan such attacks.
Key steps to take during an attack to stay safe, and what to do afterward to recover.

This presentation references Iannarelli's book How to Spot a Terrorist; Before It Is Too Late.

Key takeaways:

Understand the various methods by which institutions are robbed.
Learn the warning signs that a robbery is imminent.
