Fortifying a Regional Bank's Digital Defenses

How we prevented $2.3M in potential fraud through advanced threat detection and real-time transaction monitoring.

Executive Summary

A regional financial institution with $2.5B in assets was facing increasing security threats and regulatory pressures. After experiencing several near-miss fraud attempts, they engaged our team to implement a comprehensive security framework.

The Challenge

  • Rising Fraud Attempts: 15% month-over-month increase in fraudulent transactions
  • Regulatory Pressure: Upcoming FFIEC audit with identified gaps in security controls
  • Legacy Systems: Outdated security infrastructure unable to detect modern threats
  • Limited Visibility: No real-time monitoring of transactions
