Case Study: Altamaha Bank & Trust achieves an 87% increase in IT productivity with EventTracker SIEMphonic

Altamaha Bank and Trust - Customer Case Study

Altamaha Bank and Trust, a $150 million community bank with four branches and an operations center, needed to meet the same regulatory, security, and audit requirements as larger banks while operating with a two-person IT staff. To maintain high service levels for customers and satisfy FDIC/state/third‑party audits, they turned to EventTracker, initially deploying EventTracker Log Management and then moving to the co‑managed SIEMphonic v9 platform.

EventTracker implemented its SIEMphonic v9 co‑managed SIEM with a 24/7 SOC, Elasticsearch‑powered dashboards, fast query/filtering, and added vulnerability assessment and intrusion detection during a roughly 60‑day onboarding. As a result, Altamaha Bank and Trust saw about an 87% increase in IT productivity—reducing weekly security/report review time from 6–8 hours to 1–2 hours—while gaining continuous oversight, faster actionable intelligence, and the capacity to focus on customer‑facing projects and compliance.
