One of the required provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act is periodic training. Gladiator is making it easier to comply with GLBA and the FACT ACT by offering eSAT (our online Security Awareness Training).

Financial Institutions are required to provide information security training to personnel on a periodic basis. Effective delivery of this instruction is an important strategy to ensuring that personnel understand and accept your policies and procedures.

A proactive approach will benefit your reputation and provide a strong foundation for the expectations of an IT exam. The basis for an effective information security awareness training program includes review and acceptance of Board-approved policies and procedures that include up-to-date trends and tactics. Every employee should have a clear understanding of social engineering and pretext calling methods, cyber threats, clean desk policy, shredding documents, and how to respond to an attempted breach of security. Gladiator’s training also includes steps for employees to guide accountholders in avoiding spyware and protecting their information from identity theft.

By empowering your personnel with the specific knowledge to effectively secure non-public confidential information, you will be helping to ensure accountholder confidence in your institution’s products and services.

Recent Enhancements to eSAT:

• Board of Directors Training Component ─ a training module that includes material specifically targeted to your institution's board.  This new component also addresses the board’s role regarding identity theft regulatory expectations.
• ID Theft Prevention Program Compliance Component ─ a training module that assists your institution in fulfilling annual employee  training requirements as mandated by Identity Theft Prevention Program Guidelines (FACT ACT Modifications).
