October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an annual reminder of the role awareness plays in protecting information, accounts and relationships.

Cybersecurity and fraud are closely connected, and in banking, they overlap more often than not. This month, we’re recognizing the Team TRB employees helping protect our clients every day, encouraging conversations about fraud prevention and sharing resources that can help everyone stay alert.

Celebrating Our Front Line

Every day, Team TRB employees are identifying suspicious activity and acting quickly when something doesn’t look right.

TRB is seeing nearly one fraud case per day, and so far this year, the bank’s fraud-prevention efforts have helped avoid more than $3.3 million in potential fraud losses.

Our frontline teams are an essential part of that effort. Their awareness and judgment often help identify potential fraud before it goes any further.

Thank you to everyone helping protect our clients and our organization!

No matter where you work across Team TRB, here are two simple ways you can take part this month:

1. Keep the Conversation Going

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is also a good opportunity to reinforce fraud-prevention habits with our clients.

Remind clients to slow down when something feels urgent and verify unexpected requests before sharing information or sending money.

You can also point them to our Fraud Prevention Resource Center, where they can find practical guidance on common scams, warning signs and what to do if they think they have been targeted.

2. Help Extend the Message

Throughout October, TRB will be sharing fraud-prevention and cybersecurity content across our social channels.

Watch for those posts, give them a like and share them with your networks. It’s a simple way to help extend useful information to the people and communities we serve.
