Strong security starts before a threat walks through the door.
Evaluate your branches, ATMs, and banking properties with practical security assessment strategies that identify vulnerabilities, reduce risk, and create safer environments for employees and accountholders.

11:00 am - 12:30 pm EST
An effective security program is built on more than policies, procedures, cameras, and alarms; it requires regular evaluation to ensure that security measures remain effective, and vulnerabilities are identified before they can be exploited. Security assessments are one of the most valuable tools available to financial institutions for protecting employees, accountholders, assets, and reputation.
This webinar will provide participants with a practical framework for conducting comprehensive security assessments of branch facilities, ATM locations, and other banking properties. Attendees will learn how to identify weaknesses in physical security, operational practices, and environmental conditions that may increase the risk of robbery, fraud, workplace violence, and other criminal activity.
A key component of the session will focus on Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and how they can be applied to create safer, more secure banking environments. Participants will learn how lighting, landscaping, visibility, access control, territorial reinforcement, and maintenance influence both criminal behavior and consumer perceptions of safety. Through photographs, examples, and real-world case studies, attendees will see how relatively simple environmental changes can reduce risk and deter criminal activity.
Whether you are responsible for a single branch or an entire network of facilities, this session will provide practical guidance for evaluating your current security posture and prioritizing improvements that enhance safety and security.
