Our Upcoming Events
Let’s connect at one of our upcoming events to discuss how you can get ahead of the storm of threats.

Financial Institutions are Uniquely Challenged

Let’s be clear: there’s no other business quite like a financial institution. Safeguarding customers’ assets, complex technologies and daunting regulations are some of the factors that set you apart. They also mean you must manage cyber risk differently.

High Value
Assets

Criminals are not focused on physical vaults anymore. They know financial institutions hold far more valuable assets in their digital vaults – and they’re launching millions of attacks against them each day.

Complex
Technology

To meet the changing demands of customers and become more efficient, your institution is constantly implementing new technologies. All these new systems also increase the risk of cyber-attacks.

Constrained
Resources

Financial institutions are often forced to manage all of their risks and complexities with limited resources, and the fight for new cyber security talent has only grown more intense.

Burdensome
Regulations

Financial institutions must defend all those valuable assets in alignment with a stringent set of regulations, while also spending valuable resources and time proving their compliance.

Community
Responsibility

People depend on their financial institution to get cybersecurity, risk and compliance right – because it’s their assets, time and peace of mind on the line if FIs get it wrong.

BUILT FOR BANKING

No business manages risk, including lending and credit, like a financial institution. Now you can bring the same level of discipline to cyber risk.

DefenseStorm is your ally in the fight. Our solutions bring together advanced, AI-driven technology with a highly-skilled security operations team. You get integrated risk assessment, cybersecurity threat surveillance and proactive fraud detection – all while ensuring you maintain and can prove regulatory compliance.

This is how you move from a reactive cyber risk posture to proactive cyber risk readiness.

It’s ’s why DefenseStorm is The Best Offense.

DefenseStorm in Action

”Fraud and Information Security are siloed functions in many organizations. One of the reasons BMTX selected DefenseStorm is that they are ahead of the curve in bringing fraud and cybersecurity data together in one platform. GRID started detecting fraudulent activity before we even completed our security integration, providing a quick win for both our Fraud and Information Security teams. I’m excited to see what we can do as we onboard additional data feeds.“

Marilyn McMunn
VP of Information Security, BMTX

”The value of the DefenseStorm solution to our operations is incalculable. Within a few months, the system transformed our security response from reactive to proactive, saving us tens of thousands in hard expenditures instantly— and averting fraud that could have had massive systemic and enterprise impact, with losses in the millions.“

Neil Underwood
President, Live Oak Bancshares

”We wanted more than a vendor. We were looking for a trusted partner who was passionate about taking care of the needs of our organization, and DefenseStorm was the only prospect to demonstrate that level of care.“

Matthew Clements
VP of Technology and Analytics, Red Rocks Credit Union

”I gained so much value from the free DefenseStorm tool that I asked for a demo. I was blown away by the capabilities, including the real-time anomaly detection, the fact that it’s in the cloud, and all the platform had to offer. Plus, DefenseStorm is laser-focused on banks of our size – not the Bank of Americas, the Capital Ones, the Chases.“

Roy Corum
VP and Director of IT & Engineering, Village Bank and Trust

”I love being able to call [DefenseStorm] up anytime to answer a question; they’re always there to give guidance. Any company in this market would have trouble sourcing the talent and expertise that is a part of that team. Having them always there is a tremendous value. It’s like having an extension of my team, really.“

Jordan Pike
Director of Security Operations, Ncino

”I don’t want any of my customers looking at me saying, ‘Mark, I trusted you with my money and my information. Why didn’t you protect me?’ We really want to be able to say we’re constantly on the cutting edge of security and looking to make sure those hooligans haven’t figured out a way to get into someplace they’re not supposed to be. DefenseStorm is a product that lets us be able to do that.“

Mark Singleton
CEO, Citizens National Bank of Texas
