Lisa Barksdale presented on social media and its risks and opportunities for banks. She discussed how banks like Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, UBS and Merrill Lynch allow financial advisors to use social media. However, it presents risks like IP loss, sensitive data exposure, and reputational risks if not properly governed. Banks must establish social media policies, provide training, retain records, and use technology solutions to archive, monitor, and analyze social media usage. The FFIEC provides guidance around proper social media governance structures, policies, oversight, compliance, and evaluating effectiveness. Banks must balance engaging customers through social media against mitigating the associated risks.
