OMNICOMMANDER™ to Launch a Solution to Help Protect Credit Unions from Ransomware Attacks and Cyber Threats

To help credit unions protect their members and assets from cybercrminals, the leader in credit union marketing services with over 400 clients across 47 states, OMNICOMMANDER™, announced yesterday a cybersecurity information session and live training program is complimentary.


The NCUA, On April 22, 2021, had issued a warning press release on increasing cybersecurity vulnerabilities for federally insured credit unions and financial services. With the top threats being malware and phishing attacks, ransomware, denial of service, identity theft, pandemic-themed attacks, ATM skimming, and supply chain attacks, credit unions remain a target for hackers and thieves.

According to the Modern Bank Heists Threat Report, around 80% of surveyed financial institutions reported an upsurge in cyber-attacks over the past 12 months. And, from the beginning of February to the end of April 2020, ransomware attacks against the financial sector are up 9x.

Approximately 95% of cybersecurity breaks are caused by human fault, according to industry research. Executives from a credit union will acquire indispensable checkpoints to help guard their members and assets against cyber threats triggered by human errors during the one-hour cybersecurity training of OMNICOMMANDER.  Elliott Franklin, the Chief Information Security Officer of OMNICOMMANDER, will host the live training and present the information in an easy-to-understand setup. For more than 20 years, across industry verticals with companies ranging from 250 to over 20,000 employees, Franklin has built and managed international, multi-million-dollar safety programs.

The first cybersecurity information session and live training will be held on July 16, 2021, at 11 a.m. (CT) via Zoom. Limited space is available to the first 300 attendees. Register your credit union today. If you're unable to attend the July 16th training, OMNICOMMANDER will host ongoing cybersecurity training for credit unions starting July 21 - September 2, 2021.
