Case Study: Planters Bank achieves 24x7 visibility and improved cybersecurity maturity with Arctic Wolf Networks

Planters Bank Grows Securely With Arctic Wolf for Security Operations

Planters Bank, a full-service community bank with 13 locations and over $1 billion in assets, faced limited visibility across a diverse, distributed IT environment, pressure to meet FFIEC/FDIC compliance, and no 24x7 monitoring with constrained staff. To address these gaps the bank evaluated options and engaged Arctic Wolf, deploying Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response (MDR) / SOC-as-a-service.

Arctic Wolf implemented its MDR service across Planters Bank, providing continuous monitoring, faster incident investigation, and tailored reporting for executives. As a result, the bank gained full visibility across its environment, improved cybersecurity maturity as demonstrated by the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool, identified and contained malware without data exfiltration, retired lower-value log tools, and reduced time to access historical data—freeing IT to focus on higher-priority projects.
