July • August 2021 5 ABA’s “Banks never ask that” campaign at banksneveraskthat.com; or the Colorado Attorney General’s anti-fraud page: stopfraudcolorado.gov. Protecting consumers’ money is a joint effort because customers are their own best first line of defense for cybersecurity and fraud. Customers should monitor their accounts often and alert their bank right away if they believe they have been victimized. That said, bank customers can always rest assured that their bank is in their corner and will cover the loss and take measures to protect accounts should their information be compromised by unauthorized activity. The financial services industry is the gold standard of cybersecurity, not just because we have the highest level of security among critical U.S. industries – including energy and telecommunications – and the most stringent regulatory requirements.
