(NEW YORK, NY) – August 19, 2006

City National Bank has selected The Edcomm Group to deliver Information Security training for its bank-wide training needs. City National also chose to implement Edcomm’s own LMS, Learning Link® for hosting and maintenance.

Focus on Information Security teaches all aspects of information security with specific emphasis on protecting customer and employee information, complying with the laws and regulations that require due diligence, following proper security policies and procedures and reporting potential problems. Participants will learn about the technological and physical factors that expose the Bank to risk, and the measures to take to reduce it.

Learning Link®, Edcomm’s full-featured learning management system has an open architecture that builds on industry-standard SCORM and AICC compliance, but adds features and capabilities far beyond any competing products. Learning Link® maintains a complete record of every learning and administrative activity and offers a wide variety of customizable, real-time reports available both onscreen and in CSV formats for download and integration into any HR system. Learning Link’s servers have been issued a SAS-70 attesting to the quality of their security, business continuity and performance.
