Why Cyber Risk and Fraud Dominate in 2025
Cybersecurity and fraud are the top risks concerning bank executives and directors this year, according to Bank Director’s 2025 Risk Survey. Bank leaders understand how to respond to traditional risks such as interest rate or credit risk, says Craig Sanders, a partner with Moss Adams. By contrast, the board may not always know what questions to ask about cybersecurity. And while credit risk may present some concerns, banks can look to past recessions to prepare for potential credit losses in an uncertain economy.
Topics include:
- Cybersecurity Knowledge Gaps
- Confronting Check Fraud
- Deposit Growth Strategies
- Driving Loan Growth
Bank Director’s 2025 Risk Survey, sponsored by Moss Adams, examines bank leaders’ sentiments about concerns such as cybersecurity, fraud and credit risk. The survey results are also explored in the 2nd quarter 2025 issue of Bank Director magazine.
