In this issue of The Industry Campus, John Golden, Vice President of Education at the Mortgage Bankers Association, announces two innovations at CampusMBA: Products by Focus Area and Customized eTicket Libraries.

In addition, we highlight a new classroom-based program entitled Information Assurance - 5 Steps to Security. You can attend a special preview of this program at MBA's National Technology in Mortgage Banking Conference in Tampa, Florida. We also list other CampusMBA events at the Conference, along with information on how attendees can enter to win a Microsoft Zune media player.

Also in this issue, we catch up with Bradford Armstrong, CMB, in the CMB Profile - a section we hope to feature regularly. Finally, we proudly list our February certificate and designation graduates.

A Letter from John Golden

Dear Real Estate Professionals, I am delighted to announce two innovations at CampusMBA - both are designed to make it easier for you to leverage our offerings to support your individual business and career needs.

Products by Focus Area

CampusMBA has categorized all of our product offerings into 11 focus areas and displayed them in a clear and organized way on visual learning maps that you can access online on our website or print as a reference.

Sample Learning Map

Using the learning maps, you can quickly find an up-to-date list of the classroom and distance learning courses, audio programs, publications, and designations specific to any of the following 11 focus areas:

• Origination and Processing
• Underwriting
• Closing, Shipping, and Warehouse Lending
• Secondary and Capital Markets
• Servicing
• Commercial
• Management
• Quality Assurance and Fraud
• Regulatory Compliance
• Technology

The learning maps allow you to quickly and easily find the content that is most relevant to you and in the delivery format that fits your needs. You are probably already aware that CampusMBA offers educational content in several delivery formats, including:

	Classroom-Based Courses & School of Mortgage Banking
	Web-Based Courses

We have also expanded our online search grids to allow you to filter by focus area, in addition to keyword, date, location, format, and designation.

Is Your Company at Risk for a Security Breach?

Did you know that it costs a company an average of $4.8 million each time a security breach occurs?* Could your company be at risk?

CampusMBA has developed a new course that addresses information security solutions across the mortgage industry in a comprehensive and consistent manner. Information Assurance - 5 Steps to Security is a one-day, classroom-based course designed to:

• Provide you with an overview of legislative, audit, and security standard requirements applicable to the mortgage industry.
• Raise awareness that everyone is responsible for their company’s security assurance or security breach.
• Recognize the benefit of a harmonized information assurance (IA) approach that promotes consistent security solutions and secure interoperability throughout the mortgage industry.
• Familiarize students with a Five-Step Information Assurance (IA) Model that can be utilized within your institution.
• Familiarize students with a set of twelve organizational actions your institution can take in implementing the Five-Step IA Model.

"Legislation and regulations are driving information assurance in the industry. The research and analysis identifies common threads and best practices that can be used to create a comprehensive security program for the mortgage industry," said Robert (RJ) Schlecht, instructor at the Information Assurance course. RJ is a Project Manager at the Mortgage Bankers Association where his primary responsibility is the Secure Identity Services Accreditation Corporation (SISAC).

All course registrants will receive a copy of MBA's A Five-Step Information Assurance (IA) Model for Mortgage Industry Institutions, a research and analysis paper commissioned by the MBA Board of Directors Technology Steering Committee. Don't miss this exciting new course. Register now.
