Case Study: Thomaston Savings Bank achieves simplified security and continuous compliance monitoring with Catbird Networks

Simplified Security and Compliance Monitoring

Thomaston Savings Bank, a community bank with 10 branches and two business offices in northwest Connecticut, faced rising cyber threats, the high cost of breach audits, and data-center power and cooling constraints that prompted widespread server virtualization. With attempts at intrusion already observed and strict regulatory requirements (PCI, GLBA), the bank needed virtualization-aware network security and continuous monitoring to protect assets and maintain compliance.

Thomaston deployed Catbird across a 98% virtualized environment, using a single management portal and TrustZones to isolate virtual machines, enforce policies, and monitor compliance continuously. The result was faster, more granular control, automated audit-ready reporting, prevention of lateral spread during incidents (avoiding branch-wide outages), and simplified compliance management—reducing risk, improving uptime, and easing audit burden.
