Armor’s Secure Cloud and Active Defense Protects Financial Loan Data

Financial institutions and third-party companies that make their operations possible are under constant attack from cyber criminals. Following a string of recent cyber attacks against financial organizations globally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission declared in May 2016 that cybersecurity is the biggest risk facing the financial system. To address these mounting threats, Akouba, a Chicago-based provider of end-to-end loan solutions for financial institutions, has selected Armor, the leader in active cyber defense, to host, manage and defend its mission-critical assets. As a company that serves credit unions, banks and other financial institutions, Akouba’s underwriting platform stores sensitive banking and personal information that requires constant monitoring and assessment. Before launching their business, Akouba analyzed multiple hosting partners. Akouba selected the Armor Complete virtual private cloud (VPC) because of its ability to deliver multiple cybersecurity layers combined with military-grade levels of managed security and service.
