Recorded live at Cuba Libre during GAC 2026, this episode of the Bits & Bytes Podcast with co-hosts JT Taylor and Shirley Senn features Brian Hinze, President & CEO of NCU-ISAO, and Steve Coyne, CISO & Co-founder of Pure IT Credit Union Services. Together, they break down the cybersecurity landscape facing credit unions today—from NCUA's 2026 supervisory priorities and hacktivist threats tied to global conflict to the rising danger of deepfakes and AI-driven social engineering. The conversation also tackles the human side of security: why board-level cyber awareness matters, how to build a resilient staff culture through incremental training, and how small-to-mid-size credit unions can fight fraud without driving members away. If you want to stay ahead of what's coming in credit union security, this podcast is the episode for you.
