There are to many internal bank auditors that think that with a class or two can understand the issues surrounding banking IT security, business continuity, or networking infrustructure. It is the reason that OTS frowns on self audits for the IT infrastructure and frequently demands external audits. It is far easier for a technology professional to apply the regulatory standards to the bank’s IT infrastructure and determine the threats and risk exposures associated with the technology, then for the banking professional to accumulate the years of technical knowledge to rise to the level of CISO. In these days of identity theft - I would want the best technician protecting my assets. That being said, the lesson of “humility” is one that many IT professionals need to learn in order to really know any type of business and effective communication with one’s peers and corporate executives is a must have “talent”. We are all expert in our specific job tasks, no matter how large or small, so the ability to treat each other with respect and dignity will make or break your ability to be effective within the organization.
