OBL IT Forum
OBL IT Forum
The OBL IT Forum returns to offer an ongoing platform for IT and cybersecurity professionals to discuss relevant topics, find solutions, and exchange ideas relating to IT and cybersecurity within their organizations. As in the past, agendas are built by attending members of the forum. The forum, facilitated by SBS CyberSecurity and Infotex, has been designed with insight from operations and technology leaders from the community banking industry to provide a mix of peer sharing and discussion with free exchange of ideas on issues that concern them most, as well as guided education and lectures from seasoned facilitators.
This forum features general sessions and open forum discussion time for members, as well as an opportunity to attend managerial and technical breakout sessions.
