At the 2026 America's Credit Unions Operations & Technology Council Conference in Las Vegas, Fortuna Cysec's VP of Sales, Patrick Whelan, joined Mike Lawson of CUbroadcast to discuss the evolving cybersecurity challenges facing credit unions and financial institutions.

The conversation explores why traditional, reactive cybersecurity strategies are no longer sufficient as threats evolve beyond ransomware to include data theft, extortion, and AI-driven risks.

Key topics include:

• Proactive Cybersecurity: Shifting from responding to incidents to identifying and eliminating risks before they can be exploited.
• Risk-Based Vulnerability Management: Prioritizing remediation using asset criticality, sensitive data exposure, and exploitability rather than vulnerability scores alone.
• Identity Security and AI: Addressing the emerging risks of non-human identities, AI agents, and increasingly complex access management.
• Operational Maturity: Reducing repetitive security incidents through root cause analysis, remediation, and continuous improvement.‍
• Board-Level Security Strategy: Building the business case for proactive cybersecurity investments while balancing risk, operational efficiency, and budget constraints.

Discover how Fortuna Cysec helps organizations maximize their existing security investments, accelerate remediation, and build a more proactive, resilient cybersecurity posture.
