More Threats Caught, Faster, With Less on Your Plate
Most managed SOCs were built for enterprises that look nothing like a community bank, staffed by analysts who have never
answered to an examiner or reported to a credit union board. Ours is the opposite: banking-only, transparent, and senior. Three capabilities work as one.
When you contact the SOC, you reach a senior cybersecurity analyst, every time.
Because we monitor banks and credit unions exclusively, an attack on one institution becomes protection for all of them. High-quality financial-sector threat intelligence derived from real attacks hitting banks right now gives the team early indicators and patterns used to protect every institution we monitor.
We extend monitoring and response to the endpoint, on the EDR you already run. Our Collaborative SOC monitors, triages, and contains on your behalf across CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, and Microsoft Defender services, so there is no rip-and-replace and no single-vendor lock-in.
Fast Response You Can Still Defend
Automation runs across DefenseStorm’s custom detection trigger library, speeding up investigation times before an analyst picks up the case, enriching the alert, correlating activity, and collecting evidence so the investigation starts with context. A senior analyst makes the judgment call, with context from banking and your environment.
Automation handles volume and speed; the analyst handles judgment. Where automated response is enabled, it is scoped to high-confidence critical detections, least-privilege, fully logged, and reversible. That is examiner-defensible, and the opposite of AI that mitigates on its own.
Exam Evidence, Generated While
We Watch
For most providers, governance reporting is a separate project. For our Collaborative SOC it is a positive byproduct of monitoring: aligned to FFIEC expectations, NCUA guidance, and the GLBA Safeguards Rule, and mapped to NIST CSF 2.0. You get board-ready summaries and evidence organized so you know where the answer lives when an examiner asks.
We Absorb the Noise, So You See Only What Matters
Alert fatigue is real, we know it. Our custom trigger library and tuning system, combined with our Collaborative SOC, means your team stops drowning in alerts. We take in the flood of daily events and surface only the few that genuinely need your team’s attention.
| Result | What it means |
|---|---|
| We absorb the noise | about 80M events a day per institution, filtered to ~3 that genuinely need a person (99.9% noise reduction) |
| Lightening-fast sub 3 minute detection times | From the moment data reaches us to a triggered and alerted detection. |
| We start investigating in about 5 minutes | From data ingestion to a senior analyst kicking off an investigation, rivaling other providers and limiting risk of further impact. |
| Pentest Guarantee | 99% of customer pentests caught within the first 48 hours |
| 750+ detection triggers | Fully viewable to you |
| About $170K a year in operational savings | Average vs. building in-house |
| 200+ institutions | Banks and credit unions only |
Protection Shaped by Real Banking Attacks
No competitor combines banking-native regulatory fluency, a proven US-based SOC, and best-in-class, transparent metrics.
