Case Study: Valley Strong Credit Union achieves stronger security and compliance with Arctic Wolf Networks

Valley Strong Credit Union Bolsters Security and Compliance Using Arctic Wolf for Security Operations

Valley Strong Credit Union, a $1.7B financial institution serving 150,000 members from 13 branches, struggled with limited visibility across a diverse environment, monitoring and responding to security incidents, and locating/training IT and security talent. After an unsatisfactory engagement with Dell SecureWorks, Valley Strong chose Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response (MDR) to provide continuous monitoring, threat detection, and Concierge Security support tailored to credit union needs.

Arctic Wolf deployed its MDR service and Concierge Security Team to deliver rapid, customized 24x7 monitoring, flexible data ingestion, and compliance-ready reporting across on‑premises and cloud resources. The result: comprehensive visibility across all locations, robust reporting that satisfied auditors, no NCUA issues in the past two years, and cost savings equivalent to several full‑time employees while maintaining sustained security and compliance.
