Case Study: Large Banking Organization achieves stronger information security posture with Fortra

Digital Defense Helps Large Banking Organization Enhance Their Information Security Posture

A Northern California bank with nearly 90 branches and about $5 billion in assets needed to rapidly strengthen its information security posture to keep pace with evolving threats and meet regulatory requirements (PCI DSS, FFIEC, GLBA) while working with limited budget and staff. The bank’s Information Security Officer sought a partner that could provide fast time-to-value, clear reporting for executives, managed services to augment the team, and proven technology with low false positives.

The bank partnered with Digital Defense (Fortra) and implemented Fortra VM Pro managed vulnerability scanning with a Personal Security Analyst, plus social engineering and internal/external penetration testing. The solution delivered prioritized remediation guidance, clear automated reports and a Security GPA scorecard, helped the bank demonstrate compliance to examiners, reduced risk exposure, and maintained a successful, decade-long relationship that continues to strengthen the bank’s security posture.
