Uvation Protects Banks and Credit Unions from Cyber Threats

I.Engage

CONNECT. UNITE. PARTNER

As banks and credit unions face an increasing number of cyber threats, it is more important than ever for
these organizations to have a comprehensive cybersecurity plan in place. Not only are banks and credit
unions critical components of the economy, but they also house sensitive data about their customers.
Cybercriminals can use this data illicitly to steal funds, and malicious actors can attack banks to cause
damage to the country’s financial infrastructure.

One of the most important elements of a strong cybersecurity program is working with a managed
security service provider (MSSP). MSSPs offer around-the-clock monitoring and incident response
services, which are critical for banks and credit unions that may be targeted by sophisticated
cyberattacks.

Expanding Threat Landscape...

Banks and credit unions are targeted by a wide variety of cyber threats, including, phishing attacks, malware infections, denial of service (DoS) attacks, SQL injection attacks, and insider threats. They also face risks from an expanding list of attack vectors, including from overseas operators.

Robust Data Protection Needs...

Banks and credit unions must also be prepared for the possibility of a data breach. In the event of a breach, it is critical to have an incident response plan in place to minimize the damage and protect customer data.

24/7/365 Security...

Banks and credit unions must operate under a Zero Trust framework, with the assumption that they are constantly under attack. Uvation can provide this type of constant protection through a series of comprehensive cybersecurity solutions, managed services, and in-depth training.

II. Analyze

COLLABORATE. CUSTOMIZE. CHALLENGE

There are many reasons why financial institutions are such attractive targets for cybercriminals. For one, banks and credit unions hold large amounts of sensitive customer data, including Social Security numbers, account numbers, and birthdates. This data can be used to commit fraud or identity theft.

In addition, banks and credit unions can sometimes be slow to adopt new technologies and can have outdated systems that are easier for hackers to exploit. Because of the nature of their business, banks and credit unions are required to comply with several regulations, which can make them even more attractive targets for cybercriminals looking to evade detection.
