WEBINAR DETAILS
In August 2024, the FFIEC announced that its Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT), which has been a key resource for credit unions in assessing cybersecurity preparedness, will sunset on August 31, 2025. After its sunset, credit unions should no longer use the CAT and need to transition to the new Automated Cybersecurity Evaluation Toolbox (ACET). Your credit union should start this transition now.
