The ICBA social media monitoring tool alerted my bank to a potentially hostile situation that posted on an individual’s Facebook account. Following the alert notification, we communicated these threatening statements about numerous financial institutions to authorities. As a result, we were able to be proactive to ensure the safety of our team. This tool, provided free of charge to ICBA members, is an essential component of our bank’s Social Media and Security policies.
