CASE STORY · EXTENSION OF THE INTERNAL TEAM
Composable security. Hybrid environment. Twenty-four-seven coverage — without replacing what worked.
A service-obsessed credit union built around helping people achieve their financial goals. Six decades of operating history. More than 350,000 members. Close to 40 locations. Over $4 billion in assets.
The ability to monitor the environment continuously was severely limited — a serious problem in a high-stakes, highly regulated industry. A six-figure investment in Microsoft brought its own native security tooling that the credit union wanted to keep. A public-cloud migration was already in flight, which meant whatever security model came next had to support an on-prem and cloud hybrid environment from day one.
Digital Hands began with a timely evaluation of the existing security tools. Once the platforms were confirmed strong enough for the credit union's ongoing needs, integration was designed around an API approach using CyGuard Maestro™'s 300+ pre-built connectors. The Microsoft security toolset was brought into a single, continuously monitored operational view — without disrupting the credit union's existing investments or removing any administrative control from the internal team.
As the cloud migration completed, the credit union's threat surface was covered continuously — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The in-house team was freed to focus on the financial and compliance issues that demanded their attention, while Digital Hands monitored and safeguarded the environment around them. A composable model that made the most of existing investments.
