2026-5 Cybersecurity Built for Banking: How DefenseStorm is Protecting Credit Unions from AI-Powered Threats

Recorded live at GAC 2026, host Jonathan Taylor (BankSocial) sits down with Steve Soukup of DefenseStorm to talk about why credit unions are uniquely high-value targets in today's threat landscape — and what it takes to defend them. Steve shares how DefenseStorm's "built for banking" approach gives credit unions a vertical-specific advantage that generic cybersecurity providers simply can't match. From catching a compromised ATM vendor across their 200-institution network to stopping $860,000 in fraudulent accounts in a single morning, Steve breaks down the real-world impact of managed detection and response tailored to financial institutions. Plus, a candid conversation about how AI is radically shrinking attack dwell times — and why fighting AI-powered threats requires AI-powered defenses. If your credit union's security strategy isn't built for the space you're in, this episode is your wake-up call.Shine a light where it matters.
