      Blumira Understands Credit Unions

      Credit unions keep the economy flowing and communities growing. Member service is always priority one. Your team works hard to provide worldwide 24/7 access to banking services while protecting members’ personal and financial information. Successful digital modernization can only happen when members are confident that the infrastructure is secure.

      Credit unions are at the center of the bullseye – vulnerable to ever evolving threats including fraud, breach, hacking, social engineering, and ransomware.

      And regulators are watching, too – maintaining high levels of scrutiny because credit unions are part of critical financial infrastructure.

      Cybersecurity For small IT Teams

      For small and mid-sized credit unions, it’s hard to justify the cost and complexity of an in-house security operations center (SOC). But outsourcing to a cybersecurity firm that doesn’t understand your environment means giving up too much control. Even a traditional SIEM can take your IT team away from other important projects because it requires regular optimization. Blumira SIEM+XDR is a cloud-based security information and event management solution with extended detection and response that’s easy to deploy and easy to use.

      Blumira automates detection and response, alerting you to threats in minutes rather than hours or days. Attackers can be isolated immediately so they can’t move through your systems, and playbooks are provided for every detection to guide response. Blumira securely stores up to a year of activity logs, making it easy to respond to compliance requests or report on the security of your infrastructure.

        Employee Education

        Establish a security culture with regular training and communication about employees’ role in cybersecurity, including understanding of the potential vulnerabilities of social engineering. Make sure employees feel empowered to report any concerns without fear or embarrassment.

      • Member Communications

        Members are the first line of defense when it comes to protecting their own accounts. Remind them to look for signs of phishing and fraudulent links. Also make sure to thoroughly map out incident response communications in your cybersecurity plan.

      • Deploy Sysmon

        System Monitor (Sysmon for short) is a free Microsoft utility that records events such as network connections, process creations, file hashes, and changes to the Windows Registry. Blumira recommends that all Windows environments deploy Sysmon for enhanced logging and a wealth of data about endpoints. Using Sysmon alone requires upkeep, but it’s a valuable companion when integrated with the Blumira platform.

      “I like that Blumira is watching over the network 24/7. If we have a finding, going through the process of answering the questions and determining if this was a bad thing or a false positive is very easy.”
