Western Alliance CISO, Victor Vinogradov, leads a team that oversees and manages the Banks cybersecurity program. As the Bank’s Cyber Mission Statement describes, “The primary goal of the program is to maintain cybersecurity defenses whose capabilities are within the upper quartile of banks. We use industry standards from NIST for cybersecurity, FFIEC examination guidelines, COBIT and ITIL frameworks, and privacy laws to guide us in helping the Bank meet its legal and regulatory requirements. Our strategy allows us to perform a high level of due diligence by investing in information security controls on three fronts: People, Process, and Technology. Continual investment in all three areas provides the best mechanism to deflect hackers toward easier targets”.
