FIRST FINANCIAL BANK

First Financial Bank, headquartered in Abilene, Texas, oversees approximately $14 billion in assets and employs over 1,400 staff across 83 offices. First Financial faced multiple challenges, including inefficient incident monitoring and response, disjointed cybersecurity solutions that led to time-consuming processes, and difficulties in navigating multiple systems to retrieve information during incidents. The bank sought a cyber risk management solution to streamline their ability to manage, monitor, and mitigate cyber events.
